31 Miles of Paved Hiking, Biking and Riding Louisiana Perfection
Biking, hiking, walking, riding, playground, Tammany Trace Trail is a Louisiana gem that has everything to make your next outdoor outing a fantastic experience with 31 miles of "paved peddling perfection".
Formally the route for the Illinois Central Railroad you might say the Tammy Trace Trail is a rails-to-trails masterpiece.
Bikers and hikers in Louisiana don't have to leave the state to enjoy the great outdoors. Tammany Trace Trail meanders from Covington to Slidell including Abita Springs, Mandeville and Lacombre along the way.
The 31-mile path is paved and has an equestrian path as well. The Illinois Central Railroad trestles are now bridges for pedestrian bridges.
The trace under the I-12 bridge is now open.
Venues along the way can be rented for special events and fundraisers. Bikes can also be rented. Click here for rental information.
