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.

First off: This is NOT a MTB trail. It's an old section of railway that runs from Covington to Slidell that has been blacktopped. My girlfriend and I like to park at the Covington trailhead and ride to the Abita Brewery about once a month for one of the tours (free beer!!). Nice, easy ride and you don't have to worry about getting hit by cars. The Abita Brew Pub is a great place to eat as well and it is literally right on the trail! Lots of little parks and stuff for smaller children to play on at the various trailheads. The Abita trailhead is the nicest of all the ones I've stopped at on the route.

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.
