12 KID-FRIENDLY TRAILS IN RALEIGH

Raleigh literally is a city within a forest, the best perspective of that is when you fly into Raleigh-Durham airport,

and along with that forest setting comes an abundance of lakes and 100+ miles of The Capital Area Greenway System, there are so many trails to explore in the city of Raleigh!

SAL’S BRANCH TRAIL (UMSTEAD STATE PARK)

We are extremely lucky in Raleigh to have an awesome State Park just a 15-minute drive from downtown Raleigh, and when you visit Raleigh (or live in Raleigh like us) and love nature trails through the forest, don’t miss the 5,000 acre William B. Umstead State Park which has many excellent trails.

LAKE JOHNSON LOOP TRAIL

If you’re on your phone searching for paved hiking trails near me, it doesn’t get any better than the Lake Johnson loop trail.

LAKE LYNN TRAIL

Mostly flat with a few small inclines, it’s the perfect length with kids and we always see plenty of families pushing strollers. If you get tired, there’s some nice areas to rest and take in the views, especially along the boardwalk areas!

Besides walking trails, if you’re looking for Raleigh bike trails you’re in luck. We love how bike friendly Raleigh is becoming as we love riding our bikes, and the 6-mile Art to Heart Trail is fantastic.

BIKE THE ART TO HEART TRAIL

ANN & JIM GOODNIGHT MUSEUM PARK (AT NCMA)

Speaking of the Museum of Art, within the park is the Ann and Jim Goodnight Museum Park which features temporary and permanent public art installations by international artists, cool landscapes, colorful gardens, and a terraced pond.
