Bayou Cocodrie Trail

This trail meanders through the rich bottomland hardwood forests of Bayou Cocodrie National Wildlife Refuge, where ancient cypress and tupelo trees tower over dark bayou waters. Elevated boardwalks carry hikers over the wettest areas while providing excellent vantage points for observing wood ducks, herons, and other wetland wildlife. The refuge is a critical stopover for migratory songbirds, making spring and fall visits particularly rewarding for birders.
