From late 1973[1] to early 1980,[2][3] the Fort Wilderness Railroad, a 3.5-mile (5.6 km), 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow-gauge heritage railroad, provided transportation to the resort's various campsites, as well as to the nearby River Country water park. A new Disney Vacation Club tower, Disney Lakeshore Lodge, is set to open along the shores of Bay Lake at Fort Wilderness in 2027.
