About This Trail

It goes from the Abita Springs Tourist Park to the St.Tammany Tourist Information Center. It will soon head south from the Tourist Park. The trail was once a railroad bed. There is a dirt horse trail near the paved area. Some of the scenic bridges are on the trail. You can leave the trace when you reach the cabose near the water tower. Go south on 59 to the Tourist Center. It's an interesting boardwalk over a swampy area. They also have a lot of pamphlets and free coffee. It is not easy to find a board walk from behind the admin building to the info center. It's a good place to go and be close to town. It can be hot in summer, but it's nice the rest of the year.
