Hi Padma, unfortunatly, the majority of the route we will be taking is not stroller friendly. However, at the start of the hike, we will be passing a lake where strollers can get around. You can start with the group and we can drop you off by the lake. After that, you can drive to the nature center where the group will visit and have lunch. There is a pond there that is encircled by a pathway where strollers can also access.
