Accessibility
The Nature House is wheelchair accessible but does require travelling over an unpaved path for a short distance from the Chilco viewing platform.
To protect the Nature House from flooding in the winter months, water barriers are installed from November to February. During this time, the Nature House is not easily accessible by wheelchair or to those with mobility challenges.
