Confirmed from Armand Bayou Hike & Bike Trails - Fairmont Parkway Trail Head's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Wooded destination featuring an array of trails for hiking, running, biking and birdwatching.

One of my fave trails. So peaceful and you'll always see wildlife and God's beauty all around.
