Tammany Trace
February 16–17, 2023


A repeat of our 2014 Weekend.

Tammany Trace is a 32–mile asphalt path running between Covington and Slidell on the former Illinois Central Railroad corridor. In between are the towns of Abita Springs, Mandeville, and Lacombe. The Trace runs by several parks, including Fontainebleau State Park, restaurants, breweries, and other points of interest. On the southeastern half of the Trace the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain is always nearby. The causeway across the Lake to New Orleans begins in Mandeville.
 
Plan to arrive Wednesday, Feb. 15 to ride on the 16th and 17th. You might want to head home later on the 17th or stay longer into the Presidents Day weekend.
