Black Bart trail

If you want kids to actually feel like they’re on an adventure rather than just running laps around a jungle gym, this trail delivers. The walking path winds through scenery that does a lot of the heavy lifting — towering trees, dappled light, the whole deal. Kids in the 4-10 range tend to go full explorer mode out here, which honestly beats staring at a screen any day. It’s low-key enough that you’re not fighting crowds, but there’s enough trail to keep the restless ones moving.
