This Quaint Little Trail Is The Shortest And Sweetest Hike In Louisiana
Louisiana has so many beautiful trails to explore, it’s nearly impossible to hike them all (but wouldn’t that be a great bucket list idea?) Each one offers unique glimpses at our lovely landscape, it’s hard to choose a favorite. If you’re looking to get outdoors and explore but maybe just something short and sweet, then this is the perfect trail for you.
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
Their address is 6588 Barataria Blvd, Marrero, LA 70072.
There are also bathrooms and water fountains available, and you can also purchase some guides, insect repellent, books, music, and more from the museum store.
You’ll be surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery Louisiana can offer.
They range from a quarter mile to 1.4 miles.
This .25-mile out-and-back boardwalk trail is great for kids, since it’s not too long, and there’s a ton to look at along the way.
The views are so spectacular, you’ll want to journey on to see what the other trails have in store.
There are also birds, raccoons, armadillos… Just about all the usual swamp creature suspects call this area home.
The .4-boardwalk trail will lead you to a scenic marsh overlook where, on a clear day, you can see for miles. You can get to this trail from the Bayou Coquille Trail (.5 miles).
