Description: This 31-mile asphalted trail and parallel equestrian trail connects five communities--Covington, Abita Springs, Mandeville, Lacombe, and Slidell. The Trace also serves as a wildlife conservation corridor, linking isolated parks, creating greenways, and preserving historic landmarks and wetlands. You can observe the natural habitat, bayous, streams and rivers from the vantage point of 31 bridges built on the original railroad trestles. This is a truly beautiful trail.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by cp9999 on June 2, 2006
Rode this "trail" last weekend. It is not a mountain bike trail per se- it is a paved asphalt road. The asphalt is black in color, so you can guess what happens when the sun hits it. There are many areas adjoining the asphalt road that are labeled horse trails. Its off road, but the horse trails are rutted from the horse hooves and there are no inclines, turns, etc. Roadbikes, joggers, even an old guy in a trike were using the trail. Nice, low key ride without worry about getting hit by cars. Also patrolled by bike riding rangers who are very helpful and nice. If i were rating this as a mountain bike trail, it would be a 1 as lame- its not a trail. Because it was well maintained, safe and pleasant I rate it a 5.
