The Tammany Trace is one of the best trails I've ridden so far! The trail surface is nearly flawless, the bathrooms are spotless and I saw a few Parish employees on the trail ensuring that the trail was clean and clear. I started just short of MM 1 to avoid the bridge closure in Covington and rode to the Bonfouca-Carollo trailhead in Sidell which made for a ride just over 50 wonderful miles.
The many trailheads offered water fountains, bathrooms and welcoming towns to stop in for food or refreshments. The scenery varied from suburban to wetlands. The trail is well marked and I found the motorists to be very polite at the road crossings. The Tammany Trace is perfect and well worth visiting, you will not regret riding this trail!
LOVE this trail, I would suggested hitting it either early morning or late in the evening.
Parked at the Equestrian Center and rode both directions. For the most part, trail was in excellent shape. Downtown section had a few rough spots. Pedaled into the wind in both directions…
Excellent ride. Stopped at Lancombe Bridge, Fontainebleau State Park, Abita Springs Cafe and Abita Springs Taproom. The bridge is still out southeast of downtown Covington so sadly could not complete the ride. Check operating hours for museums etc .we rode on a Monday and many places, including restaurants were closed.
But the bridge is out in Covington. We started our ride in Covington and was told that the bridge was out. That's fine but NO signage to navigate the detour. Since we have this app we figured it out, walked our bikes across a very busy bridge and eventually got back on the trail. But they should have it marked. Now for the good part. Great trail, best we have ever been on. Had lunch at the abita springs cafe, visited the Abita Mystery House of super cool collectibles and spoke to the owner for quite some time. Rode on a cool day in December about 6 miles each direction. Flat, interesting ride. Highly recommend
I parked in near LSU stadium and rode around the campus and took the levee trail past the Cane’s River Center and back to LSU area. Campus is bicycle friendly and the levee trail is very smooth with nice views of the Mississippi River, LSU campus and downtown Baton Rouge.
Kudos St. Tammany Parish for this beautiful and safe trail. What a treasure.
Tried to start in Covington. Bridge out so had to ride around this on the busy highway. Otherwise trail in very good condition. A lot of cross roads that you have to slow down or stop for. Shaded for the most part. A lot of people on the trail which is nice to see
This is a nice ride if you’re in the area but wouldn’t travel very far to make this ride. We found a parking area on the South end of the trail. Parking area was on the river side of the levee, so don’t miss it if you’re looking for a place to park! The trail began as smooth pavement but turned into hard packed gravel after about a 1/2 mile, so I wouldn’t recommend rollerblades on this trail. blades.
We rode Tammany trail from Neslo rd to Abita Springs 2/26/24. The surface is blacktop the entire way and in great condition, with the exception of a couple small spots. Ride is flat. There are several intersections with roads, but good visibility and almost no vehicle traffic. We had the trail pretty much to ourselves until we got to Mandeville, then some light bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
