"Creating a Legacy"

Woodlands Trail and Park is a 501-C-3, nonprofit organization created from the desire to preserve, protect and celebrate the beauty and unique character of the Lower Coast Algiers and Belle Chasse region, to enhance community access to the river, and solidify public opportunities to take advantage of recreation and transportation amenities. 

Woodlands Trail and Park is partially funded by the Louisiana Recreational Trails program by Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu’s Department of Cultural Recreation Tourism with funds from the Federal Highway’s Administration.

Woodlands Trail is located within one of Southeastern Louisiana's last remaining coastal forests.  Thanks to funding from Governmental entities, corporations, individuals and members in combination with thousands of volunteer hours, much has been accomplished since the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.  Three bridges and culverts have been installed to connect over 13 miles of greenways and trails.  Two Kiosks have been constructed and directional signage is being installed along the trails. 

Take a Hike!  Come visit the progress and enjoy a hike in one of the region's last stands of bottomland hardwoods.

Our Mission

The Woodlands Trail and Park  vision is the culmination of work over a seven-year period where the distinct history and attributes of the area were identified and then congealed into a proposal for a public park with equestrian facility and an adjoining bike pathway and parallel equestrian trail physically joining Orleans and Plaquemines Parishes.   As our community grows, it will be imperative to the livelihood of wildlife to connect greenway corridors to prevent species from being trapped between islands of development.

Woodlands Trail and Park was organized as a 501(c) 3  corporation in 2001 with the mission to:

"establish and embellish an educational, historical and recreational greenway, designed as a nature trail; jogging, hiking, and bicycle pathway; and equestrian trail. It will establish a natural area and park with amenities within the Lower Coast Algiers and Belle Chasse areas."
