Nope that is the wrong breed of dog yes they do need to be walked but hiking long walks like that.. Boat fine as long as you do have a safety vest for the dog..So The Basset Hound is not the right breed for hiking and long walks and running

They are used to hunt fox, hare, opossum, and pheasant. While the dogs reflexes are slow, it has an excellent sense of smell.

Bassets Hounds are great dogs just not for what you like to do, that's why I tell people to choose the breed of dog that fits your life style..From your Q the Basset is not the right breed for your life style..

Bassets were bred for stamina, not speed. Still, they can achieve surprisingly fast running speeds with those short legs! About 5 to 10 mph.
