5 Kid-Friendly Hikes With Wider Trails for Seattle-Area Families

Nolte State Park in Enumclaw offers a 1.5-mile loop trail around scenic Deep Lake — the perfect distance for little hikers. The gravel trail is wide, mostly flat and stroller-accommodating, yet it still offers deep-woods tranquility. There are numerous little offshoots (not wide or stroller-friendly, however) that take you down to the water’s edge for some rock throwing or just to enjoy the view. There is also a playground at the end of the hike that can be used as a good motivator to keep little ones moving. You will find it at the end of your journey if you start out at the east entrance.
 
Find it: Follow directions to Nolte State Park. You will find it has a large parking lot not far from the start of the trail, which is easy to find. You will need a Discover Pass to park. There are restrooms at the park.
