As the crocuses triumphantly rise from the cold earth, families can rejoice. That stir-crazy feeling of being cooped up inside all winter will give way to the excitement of getting outside and for some new parents, their first real adventure with a baby in tow.<\/p>\n

Heading outdoors with an infant can be challenging, so these hikes take things like adequate cell service and relative ease to stop for a feeding into consideration. Whether you\u2019re lacing up your hiking boots for the first time this year or the first time ever, here are 3 easy hikes to enjoy with your newest adventurer.<\/p>\n

Teatown Lake Reservation | Ossining, NY<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Teatown

Teatown boasts 15 miles of pristine trails that will take hikers across diverse terrains and habitats, along with tons of family-friendly programming like the reservations-only Wildflower Island and a raptor exhibit that includes rehabilitated birds of prey. For a short and relatively flat stroll, check out the Lakeside Trail for a 1.5 mile loop around Teatown Lake. Much of this trail hugs the shoreline and for a brief period, hovers over the lake entirely on a floating pedestrian bridge. For a slightly longer jaunt and double the lake views, try the Twin Lakes Loop. Hikers will pass Vernay and Shadow Lakes before reaching a scenic overlook atop the highest point in Teatown.<\/p>\n
