New Orleans City Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Traversed by a few paved roads, the City Park can be partially visited by bike and with plenty of places to park, it can also be a good point to start a route. The park is an exuberant respite of nature in the middle of the city and its ancient oak trees and moss canopies make it evident that this is one of the oldest urban parks in the country.

Lake Pontchartrain Lakefront Bicycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This 20+ mile paved path along the southern shores of Lake Pontchartrain is perfect for a burn ride, or a rather meditative one, due to it being mostly straight for its entire length. The Lake steals the show, but there are a few other interesting stops along the way, such as boardwalks, parks, outfall canals, mansions, and the Causeway.

Ancient Live Oak in New Orleans City Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

New Orleans City Park is the largest outdoor attraction in New Orleans at 1,300 acres, surpassing Central Park in size. It is also one of the oldest parks in the country, and features many different attractions, including the New Orleans Botanical Garden, Storyland playground, and Carousel Gardens Amusement Park, alongside themed gardens, biking and walking paths, live concerts, and the world’s largest grove of mature live oak trees. The park offers facilities for various events, recreational rentals like surreys and swan boats, and private gondola rides. Be aware if riding your bike: golf carts are allowed on designated roads but not on bike paths or grassy areas, and they must follow posted speed limits.
