Northlake Nature Center
The Northlake NatureCenter Trail is great for
running, hiking, or biking.Located in Mandeville, LAthis trail is a hidden gem
for anyone looking toexplore the area.
This sign indicates thestart of the trail. Follow thedeck down a few hundred
yards and enjoy thewooden structures along
the way. This deckeventually turns into a trail
which is great for a trailrun.
Canoe Launch
Follow the signs to the leftafter you park and you will
end up at the canoelaunch. There is no fishingallowed but the scenery isgreat and the bench style
seating, for canoes tolaunch from, really makes
for a great resting area.
Along with the canoe
launch is also the Castine
Bayou Loop Trail. It seems
to be a very short trail that
we be ideal for someone
scouting for wildlife or
birding, etc.
A bike path route is alsoaccessible and located in
the very back of theparking area. After runningthis entire trail I know that
you can easily ride amountain bike throughoutthe trail and be perfectly
fine.
This is a photo of the deckthat leads to the South loop
trail. The South loop ends andpicks up with the North loopabout 1 mile from this point.
