Louisiana's only rails-to-trails conversion, the 31-mile Trace winds through the Northshore, a paved ribbon connecting five communities interspersed with lovely green space. The path offers all who ride, walk or even rollerblade it, a way to experience both the towns and the natural beauty that so enhances the quality of life on the Northshore. Originally a corridor for the Illinois Central Railroad, the Trace now is an earth-friendly hike and bike trail stretching from downtown Covington, through Abita Springs, Mandeville, and Lacombe and ending in Slidell. In 2017, the Tammany Trace was inducted into the Rails-to-Trails Hall of Fame.

Get an up-close look at the Northshore’s natural grandeur with a walk or bike down the Tammany Trace. This paved trail is a converted rail line corridor that runs from Slidell to downtown Covington, with equestrian trails paralleling portions of it. Along this 27-mile stretch, you’ll see quiet bayous teeming with wildlife (look out for alligators and amazing amounts of birds), remodeled railroad trestles, pedestrian bridges, and the charming towns of Mandeville and Abita Springs.
