About This Trail

Walking atop the levees that contain Bayou Sauvage’s managed wetland pools, this trail offers unique perspectives on both wild marsh and the New Orleans skyline in the distance. The flat, easy walking surface makes this accessible for most visitors, and the open exposure provides excellent birding opportunities. The contrast between urban and wild creates a memorable hiking experience.
