Duke Farms is committed to accessibility, ensuring that visitors of all abilities can experience its trails, landscapes, and educational features.

The safest way to access the trails is by following the path to our South Gate crossing and waiting for a green light from our friendly crossing guards.
From the parking lot, follow the path to the South Gate Crossing. If you’re unsure how to get there, stop by the Farm Barn Orientation Center where our team can give you directions.
The grasslands behind the Farm Barn Orientation also contain trails. Visitors will be able to spot endangered grassland birds up close.
