ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. (WVUE) - With more of us looking for things to do outdoors and socially distanced, bicycling is increasing in popularity. One of the best long-distance bikeways in Louisiana is located on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain in southern St. Tammany Parish.
The Tammany Trace runs through the forest, the backyards, and across the rivers and bayous of the parish. The 28-mile-long bikeway inherited its straight and level path from the old Illinois Central Gulf railroad line that was abandoned in the 1980s.
