..is more of a walk than a hike but, at 6 miles one way, it travels from downtown Wolfeboro, passes by a lot of history, a few beaches with time to dip the toes in the water and lots of flowers now. Ran it this morning and passed more Lady Slippers than I have ever seen in one place.

Crushed stone/dirt and flat the whole way.

You could also hike up the Castle in the Clouds road or check out the Bearcamp River (Beede Falls) in Sandwich off of Sandwich Notch Road (You would be near the Sandwich Creamery afterwards as well!)

Cotton Valley Trail is perfect. I did that walk a ton last year with my Goldens. It'd be great for a 3 year old...especially "dipping the toes in the water" part!!!

I'll check out Bearcamp River too!!

Thanks again.

We had a backpack that we could put the boys into for long walks or hikes like that - I loved it!

The one we had would hold a child up to 40 lbs.

We just bought one of those kid carrier backpacks (Deuter kid comfort II) so that I can take my 1 year old (24 lbs) on hikes when we're up at the lake. I love it. He loves it. We've done a couple 3-4 mile practice hikes and plan on doing bald knob and maybe a couple other places suggested in this thread.
