Fontainebleau State Park

The 2,800-acre Fontainebleau State Park  stretches along the shore of Lake Pontchartrain and offers lovely views, along with a sandy beach. The 31-mile Tammany Trace also runs through the park, offering easy access for cyclists from neighboring communities such as Mandeville and Lacombe. Other trails in the park include a 1.25-mile nature trail with interpretive signs to help you identify common trees and shrubs.

Bordered by the lake, Bayou Cane and Bayou Castine, the park encompasses diverse ecosystems and offers a rich habitat for birds. You can also explore the crumbling brick ruins of a sugar mill built in 1829.

Once you’ve explored the park, catch some live tunes at Dew Drop Jazz and Social Hall, the oldest of its kind in the country. If you’re seeking more outdoor fun, hop over to the Mandeville Trailhead, where you can catch local events such as concerts or community markets.
