I recently went to a Georgia state park and took my power chair on a trail - it was mostly a boardwalk, with a few sections of crushed gravel. Since I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user, it was doable - for bigger drop offs during transitioning between surfaces, I could hop out and my partner could push the chair up or down safely.
It was great - I'd normally not bother going on a trail while on vacation because it'd tire me out too much, so it opened up an experience I wasn't sure I'd have again. Plus we saw a barred owl!

On the off chance you haven't already come across it, The Rig from Not a Wheelchair might be interesting to you! It's designed by Zack Nelson (JerryRigEverything on YouTube) & his wife Cambry Kaylor (who is a wheelchair user), and everything I've seen suggests they're going all in on something they both understandably care a lot about. It looks as though there's a tracked version in the works (mentioned in this video), but even the base model looks impressive as hell for the price.
Wow, those chairs look absolutely rad. This is really cool, Georgia has some absolutely beautiful state parks and I'm glad that more folks are going to be able to enjoy them.

Love it. Glad that the parks are becoming more accessible.
