Where to ride in West Feliciana Parish
The Heart of Louisiana describes The Beast as a challenging mountain bike trail in the woods and river ravines behind the West Feliciana Sports Park, just north of St. Francisville. The trail runs nearly six miles with steep drop-offs, and it is usable year-round, though rain can make slick or muddy spots.
Tunica Hills Wildlife Management Area has two tracts, the 2,346-acre North Tract beside the Louisiana State Penitentiary and the 4,156-acre South Tract off Old Tunica Road. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries lists biking and photography among its other activities, along with a nature trail and three hiking trails.
The terrain at Tunica Hills is rugged hills, bluffs, and ravines at the southern end of the loess blufflands, and the department warns that the area has canebrake rattlesnakes and copperheads. It also notes that the area is closed to everyone except youth deer hunters on November 7 and 8, including hikers.
The Visit St. Francisville tourism site lists Cycling in the Felicianas, which it says hosts many bike races, along with Afton Villa Gardens, Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge, and the Rosedown Plantation State Historic Site.
Across the river, the BREC levee trail at Farr Park in Baton Rouge is the nearest paved ride, about 30 minutes south. The East Baton Rouge Parish ride guide covers it, along with the BREC rule that bans motorized vehicles of any type in parks.
Visit St. Francisville groups its outdoor listings under Hike-Bike-Camp. It says Tunica Hills offers miles of hiking and biking trails, and that Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge preserves forested wetland habitat around the Champion Bald Cypress on Creek Road.
The Republic of West Florida, a short-lived revolt against Spain, was declared in the area in 1810, according to the Heart of Louisiana. Local history is a reason to plan a slow afternoon in town after a morning on the trail.
The department says the Tunica Hills terrain sits at the southern end of the loess blufflands, a rugged escarpment that follows the east bank of the Mississippi River south from its meeting with the Ohio River.
Clark Creek Natural Area, which Louisiana tourism sites call the Little Grand Canyon, is listed at a Woodville, Mississippi, address on the Visit St. Francisville page, so it is outside this parish's riding list.
Afton Villa Gardens at 9347 U.S. Highway 61 and Rosedown Plantation State Historic Site are the two garden stops the tourism site lists near St. Francisville. Neither lists a bike trail.
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.
