Where to ride in St. Tammany Parish
St. Tammany Parish Government runs the Tammany Trace and describes it as a hike and bike trail on the old Illinois Central Railroad corridor, running from downtown Covington through Abita Springs, Mandeville, and Lacombe to Slidell. The Northshore tourism bureau calls it Louisiana's only rails-to-trails conversion and gives the length as 31 miles.
The rules on the Trace signs allow e-bikes and electric wheelchairs, ban other electric or motorized vehicles including golf carts, set a 15 mph speed limit, and keep pets off the trail and its facilities. The Trace is open from 7 AM to 6:30 PM.
The parish publishes the distances between trailheads: 3.55 miles from Covington to Abita Springs, 4.39 miles from Abita Springs to the Koop Drive headquarters, 4.38 miles from there to Mandeville, and 7.17 miles from Lacombe to the Slidell trailhead.
The parish lists three bridge replacements in 2026 and 2027, at the Abita River near the Abita Springs Trailhead, at Bridge 14 in Mandeville, and at Bridge 24 in Abita Springs. Check the closures notice before you plan a through ride.
Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville covers 2,800 acres on Lake Pontchartrain, and the Tammany Trace runs through it. Bogue Chitto State Park in Washington Parish is the other big northshore draw, with 25 miles of mountain bike trails. Louisiana State Parks includes the park on its list of biking destinations.
The Mandeville trailhead has a splash fountain, a pavilion, and an amphitheater, with free Friday evening concerts and a Saturday morning community market. That makes it an easy place to start and to find a rental nearby.
Abita Springs is worth a stop for the Abita Mystery House and the Abita Springs Tourist Park, which the parish lists beside the trailhead. Bring a lock if you leave the bike outside.
Fairview-Riverside State Park in Madisonville sits on 99 acres fronting the Tchefuncte River, with a quarter-mile ADA-accessible nature trail. It is a short side trip from the Trace for riders who want a quiet riverside stop before a swim or a paddle on Lake Pontchartrain.
Camp Salmen Nature Park in Slidell and the Bayou Lacombe Bridge share the Trace's 7 AM to 6:30 PM hours on the parish schedule, which makes them easy add-ons to a Lacombe or Slidell ride.
eBike rules in Louisiana
Louisiana defines an electric-assisted bicycle in R.S. 32:1(25) as a bicycle with a saddle or seat, fully operable pedals, and an electric motor of less than 750 watts, on two wheels (either one at least 16 inches across) or three wheels (one at least 20 inches across). It sorts them into three classes. Class one assists only while you pedal and stops assisting at 20 mph. Class two may move the bike on its own and cannot assist at 20 mph. Class three assists only while you pedal and stops assisting at 28 mph.
R.S. 32:204 gives an electric-assisted bicycle the rights and duties of a bicycle, and R.S. 32:1 leaves it out of the definitions of motor vehicle and motorcycle. It may be ridden wherever bicycles are allowed, including streets, highways, bicycle lanes, shared-use trails, and bicycle paths. After notice and a public hearing, a local municipal authority, a parish authority, or a state agency in charge of a shared-use trail or path may prohibit Class one or Class two bikes there for safety reasons or to comply with other laws, and it may also prohibit Class three bikes. On a trail designated nonmotorized with a natural tread of cleared native soil, that authority may regulate eBikes on its own.
Nobody under 12 may operate a Class three eBike, though a child under 12 may ride as a passenger on a Class three built to carry one. Every Class three operator and passenger must wear an approved bicycle helmet, the fine is $50, and the fine is waived on proof of buying a helmet. A Class three must also have a speedometer that shows miles per hour. The section sets a helmet duty for Class three only, so read our Louisiana eBike laws guide, then the sign at the trailhead, because parish and park rules can go further.
