Summer is a time for family reunions, company picnics, school trips and weddings. DCR parks offer many day-use areas that may be reserved for both large and small groups (large groups may be required to hire a law enforcement officer). Most areas are accessible to people of all abilities. Contact the parks directly to find out the extent of accessibility that is available, and for more information about reservations, facilities, and fees.
