Ancarrow's Landing towards the Slave Trail.
Park at Rocket's Landing and walk towards downtown.
On the west end, Tuckahoe Creek Park is a boardwalk over a marshy area. Completely flat.

I'm not sure if you're suggesting they walk from Rocketts to Anncarrows, but that's a very long walk. Ancarrows is across the river from Rocketts, and is a 3.4 mile walk to get there, all the way across the 14th St bridge, which means an almost 7 mile roundtrip back to the car. Quite a distance for someone with mobility issues, but Anncarrows does have a parking lot.

Perhaps you're referring to Shiplock Park on Dock St, which has a small network of dirt paths? In which case, OP could park in the parking lot at Shiplock, if it's not full.

I meant it as two separate options. There is a lot more parking at Rockets than at Shiplock.

You can park at the Manchester climbing wall lot and go along the floodwall trail to the slave trail. It's about 2.5 miles to Ancarrow and very flat. There's constant traffic noise but it's not too loud except under the overpasses.

Could be extended by doing the Ancarrow trail loop too, though it's about a 7-8 mile round-trip at that point.
