Confirmed from Tammany Trace'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 Tammany Trace
Tammany Trace runs through 5 St. Tammany Parish cities. You can enter the trace in each city if you would prefer not do the entire path. Entrances are at Covington, Abita Springs (center), Mandeville Trailhead, Lacombe or Slidell. Its great for a walking path as well as outdoor cycling amd rollerblading.
The Tammany Trace is an awesome way to exercise and experience nature. You can walk or run for miles, or ride your bike. There are even parallel horse trails. At different points there are Trailheads that host community markets, old rail cars, splash fountains and much more!
long bike/ walking trail that’s shaded and peaceful. abita brewery and other stops along the way, turns south to fountain blue state park. there’s signs that say “no dogs” but what’s the harm if on leash? lots of random picnic tables and benches for those that need it.
Great for cycling, walking, running. Crosses a few streets, so caution ⚠️ required.
Trail conditions & character
“Abita springs and Mandeville are the heart of the trail and both offer outdoor water fountains for breaks as well as the best views on the path.”
