This section of the Mississippi River Trail is one of the most popular areas for riding due to its close proximity to the city of New Orleans. The trail follows the banks of the Mississippi River atop a levee providing good views of the massive river just below. The multi-use trail is used by both bicycles and walkers/joggers and can be busy so be aware of others on the trail. The pathway is all paved and very flat but there is limited shade when riding in warm weather.
