Confirmed from Lafitte Greenway Trailhead - Basin St.'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.
What runners say about Lafitte Greenway Trailhead - Basin St.
I find the best way to enter the Lafite Greenway Trailhead from the French Quarter is down Saint Peter Street. This leads to Louis Armstrong Park and a very nice tree lined path to the Lafite Greenway. Just cross Basin Street and keep walking to the Greenway.

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
