Don't have the gear? No problem.
Many parks let you borrow what you need — from fishing poles and tackle boxes to tents, camp chairs, stoves, and coolers. Grab a family activity backpack loaded with bug boxes, magnifiers, binoculars, and nature journals, or pick up snowshoes and life jackets for winter and water adventures. Accessible adaptive equipment like paddleboards, swim chairs, and track chairs is available too, so everyone can enjoy the outdoors. Just ask at the visitor center and get exploring.
