Sam's Point is a fun place. The ice caves hike is pretty easy, mostly carriage roads until you get to the ice cave section. That hike is only about 3 miles round trip. But there are other loops in the preserve the longest of which is about 8 miles round trip. So you can make your hike as easy or challenging as you wish. I go there often, great views and the hikes are appropriate for my 11 year old son.
