We have so many fond memories of hiking and exploring there. And of course, our dogs came along, too. Is there anything closer to true joy than kids and dogs frolicking together? We spent hours on the trails. The kids loved to explore and find rocks and sticks. Or else discovering the wildlife living in the forests and meadows. Even young toddlers can get in on hiking! There’s a very easy, paved trail around the Orange Reservoir. The 1.7-mile trail is paved, so it’s easy to take the littlest ones along in a stroller.
