Lit Trails for Early & Night Runs in Louisiana

Louisiana has 30 trails with lights for night running in this directory, across 18 cities and towns — Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Natchitoches, New Orleans and 14 more. Lights for the pre-dawn start and the after-work run once winter takes the evenings.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
