What is a family bike trail?

The trails are flat enough and safe enough for kids to ride and/or for adults with bike trailers to ride. And more importantly, bikes are allowed! On these routes there will not be a lot of road crossings, if any. The trails listed may be paved, hard gravel, packed dirt or a mixture. You need to make sure your bike tires are capable of going over some gravel. You need to carry bike repair equipment with you regardless.
