Getting outside to exercise can be hard enough, but throw in a few kids, stroller, and a Razr Scooter and it can sound like a task too daunting to even start. We know how tough it can be pushing the double stroller up a steep incline with the baby strapped to your chest. Luckily you don’t have to struggle anymore. We put together the best running (or walking) trails for families to use with ease (think flat land). Click through the slideshow to hit up these trails that will get your heart rate up and tire out your little ones at the same time.

Lake Murray

One of the most family friendly trails in the East County and it comes with a hidden trick: it's not a loop. That means you will run or walk three miles and then have to turn around and come back -- no cheating here! The views of the beautiful park and gorgeous wildflowers along the way are well worth it. The trail is completely flat and wide, which makes it great for strollers, even if it can get a bit crowded at times. There is plenty of free parking and the trail is dog-friendly, in case Fido needs some exercise too. It's good to remember that Lake Murray gets pretty hot with minimal shade, so plan accordingly.
