Located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, this large wildlife refuge offers an array of natural habitats that provide great birdwatching and wildlife viewing opportunity. The hike follows both boardwalk trail and a dirt road that travels through the area of marshes, hardwood and pine forests, and sandy beaches. The out-and-back hike is just over 5 miles total but hikers looking for a short trip through the area can just hike the short boardwalk nature trail located near the trailhead.
