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.  Three Kiosks have been constructed and directional signage installed along the trails.  Woodlands Trail is partially funded by the Louisiana Recreational Trails program by the Lt. Governor's Department of Cultural Recreation Tourism with funds from the Federal Highway’s Administration.  Take a Hike!  Come visit the progress and enjoy a hike in one of the region's last stands of bottomland hardwoods.   View Map.

History

The Woodlands vision is the culmination of work over a ten-year period where the distinct history and attributes of the 10,000-acre peninsula formed by Orleans and Plaquemines Parish were identified and then congealed into a proposal for educational and recreational greenways and trails.    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.
