Big Lake City Park

Highlight • Lake

Literally the big lake within City Park. It is surrounded by art sculptures and a natural habitat for many birds. There is a small bike path on a pier going a bit over the water.

City Park

Highlight • Natural

Great trails through the live oaks, past the New Orleans Museum of Art and sculpture garden, and along the bayou. So beautiful!

Tip by

Bayou Metairie was created when the Mississippi River shifted 2,600 years ago, and now it's the centerpiece of a city park. There are a number of bridges, benches, and lookouts that are meant for viewing the bayou. The trails in and around the wetlands are great for jogging.

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.
