Wild Azalea Trail

As Louisiana’s longest trail, this 24-mile route showcases spectacular wild azalea blooms from late March through April. The path winds through mixed pine and hardwood forests, crosses bubbling creeks, and traverses scenic bayou bottomlands. Sections range from easy creek walks to moderate ridge climbs, making it ideal for day hikes or multi-day backpacking adventures. Birders will appreciate the diverse habitat that attracts warblers, woodpeckers, and other forest species.
