Metroparks Kids Hiking Club: For Kids By Kids, .8 Mile (All Ages, Dog Friendly)

This hiking program at Side Cut Metropark puts kids in the driver's seat—it's designed and run by young people themselves. The group will cover about .8 miles on the trail, making it accessible for families with children of various abilities. The hour-long outing is welcoming to all ages, and if your family has a furry friend, your dog is welcome to join along. Reservations are required to participate, and the good news is the program is completely free. This is a great way for kids to explore nature while building confidence as outdoor adventurers, and parents can relax knowing the experience is tailored by kids who understand what makes hiking fun.
