Run on the historic New Orleans street car line.

The historic street car line that runs from uptown New Orleans to Downtown New Orleans is the perfect place to run and experience the city if you are visiting. 22 miles of track allow you to choose from many different sections to run. The best section in my opinion is the section from the intersection of S.Carrollton Ave and St. Charles Ave to the intersection of Jefferson Ave and St. Charles Ave. The tracks cut through the beautiful uptown New Orleans Area. You run under oak trees, past Tulane University, past historic homes, the towering Holy Name of Jesus Church and the beautiful Audubon Park. There and back is an easy 4 mile run. After your run stop by Plum Street Snowball stand to cool off. Make sure you bring cash. The stand is located at 1300 Burdette St, New Orleans LA 70118.

Riding the street cars around new Orleans is a great way to see the city. My favorite area is the French Quarter followed by the garden district.

Run The Audubon Park Trail in New Orleans

Audubon Park offers an oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of New Orleans. The park offers a 1.8 mile paved loop for running, biking, or taking the dog for a walk. The loop surrounds the Audubon golf course in the center of uptown New Orleans. Audubon Park is dotted with beautiful ponds, stone arched bridges, and amazing oak trees. Its the perfect place to chill in the many gazebos and...

Photograph the Tree of Life In Audubon Park

The Tree of Life as the Locals call it, is an iconic staple of the Uptown New Orleans area. Families have been climbing, swinging and getting married under this beautiful tree's canopy for years. The tree is estimated to be nearly 500 years old and the tree limbs even touch the ground as Spanish moss drapes from the overhanging branches. One little know fact about the tree is that is right next...

Watch the Sunset on the Southern Banks of Lake Pontchartrain

Just a fifteen minutes from the hustle and bustle of New Orleans, one can find possibly the best spot in all of the New Orleans Metro Area, "The Levee", as locals call it. At the listed location, there is a shell beach where you can enter on your SUP, Kayak, or Canoe. This location is also a popular spot for fishing.You can literally go anywhere on the levee to catch a perfect sunset. If you wo...

Fish For Redfish In Lafitte, LA

Deep in the marsh lands of southern Louisiana lies the small fishing community of Lafitte, Louisiana. In Bayou Rigolettes just south of Lafitte, you can fish one of the easiest as well as hardest fish to reel in. Redfish are know to be very abundant in both shallow and deep waters in Louisiana. They will hit anything from live shrimp to plastic worms. But once you land a red, be ready for a fig...

Hike the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge Trail

The trail on the boardwalk is about a mile but you also have the option to walk the full hike which is 6.8 miles. It almost completely flat the whole time and its one of my favorite places to go near New Orleans. There's also free guided walks available as well with groups so you can learn more about the area. I started out in the guided group and then went adventuring out past where the group ...

Sunset Stroll on the Mandeville Lakefront

Altogether this is about a 1.5 mile walk from one end to the other, 3 miles there and back. It's often full of interesting people. Typically around sunset in the warmer months, you can find a man somewhere along the Lakefront playing his violin. The music is beautiful. I have no idea who he is but he plays very well. Needless to say, this is a particularly popular location in this area. However...
