Adventure trails and hiking paths for children
These easy family trails turn a simple hike into an adventure, with riddles to solve, stories to follow and hands-on play and discovery stations along the way.
Read MoreHiking with kids works best when the trail is part of the adventure. Along themed family trails and interactive nature paths, families follow playful characters through the woods, listen to stories, solve puzzles, hunt for hidden treasures and put their skills to the test at hands-on activity stations. Some trails bring local legends and history to life through audio stories, while others lead hikers to beavers, ants, marmots and other wildlife. Elsewhere, children get a chance to climb, swing, balance and investigate their surroundings like young explorers.
These trails turn an ordinary hike into a small expedition where the highlights are not measured in miles or elevation gain, but in the discoveries made along the way. Many routes are short enough for younger children to enjoy – and when appetites start to grow, a picnic area, fire pit or family-friendly restaurant is often just around the corner.
