This site is for those who are wheelchair-bound or handicapped, but would like to enjoy birding -- it lists parks or areas that are handicapped-accessible for birders in several locations around the world.

Well done to find this site.
The only wheel-chair accessible trail I know is Spruce Bog walk in Algonquin Park.

I was at the Corkscrew Sanctuary in Naples, FL (it is listed on the web site referenced above) and that might be the best I've ever seen - spectacular 2 1/4 mile boardwalk.

I love this boardwalk, too. We've been there three times and every visit there is something special to see. Back in February, we had a four-foot-long Yellow Rat Snake cross the boardwalk right in front of us!

Lambton Woods is accessible by wheelchair. There is a paved path from James Gardens to the Old Mill.
The only hitch is that the best time for birding at the Woods is during the winter and the path is not cleared of snow.
