Confirmed from Columbia Street Landing'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.
Public park featuring a gazebo, and paddle board launching, plus a peaceful atmosphere.
What runners say about Columbia Street Landing
“Just off the beaten path of downtown Covington, it wanders down to the Bogue Falaya River, which is quite beautiful.”
“Was out there with a friend for mother's day 2021 it was so clean and landscaped and peaceful I told my friend find me a hammock and you can leave me here”
Nice little area at the end of a dead end street. It has enough room for the kids to run around and plenty of room to bring a chair and hang out away from the city life. You can even grab a coffee right up the street and walk down, which is what we did.
So very pretty, peaceful and quiet. Just off the beaten path of downtown Covington, it wanders down to the Bogue Falaya River, which is quite beautiful. Great place for taking event pictures and spending a quiet evening with the significant other.
The Columbia Street Healing Garden is very serene and peaceful. You can walk down to the water and sit on the dock or enjoy the breeze sitting in the gazebo. A nice respite when walking around in the Historic District.
Stunning area for a picnic, walk, or to enjoy some beautiful history and local landmarks/art
