The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control has expanded the Action Trackchair®, an all-terrain wheelchair program, to five Delaware State parks. These are the first off-road wheelchairs available for public use in the state of Delaware and allow people with disabilities to enjoy cultural and natural resources in state parks.

The off-road wheelchair, which can traverse paved or packed dirt trails, debuted at White Clay Creek State Park in June 2024. The wheelchair is equipped with motorized treads for climbing, headlights and a horn, and the seat can tilt forward or backward when going up or down hills. In addition to White Clay Creek, they are now available for designated trails at Cape Henlopen State Park, Lums Pond State Park, Killens Pond State Park and Trap Pond State Park.
