Life in Abita Springs

The Tammany Trace

Louisiana's first rails-to-trails conversion runs 31 paved miles from Covington to Slidell. The Abita Springs trailhead sits minutes from your door, so a morning ride or an evening walk under the pines is an ordinary weekday, not a weekend trip.

The Town Square

The gazebo, the pavilion, the Brew Pub and the Abita Mystery House sit within a few blocks of each other. It is the kind of downtown where the farmers market, a festival and a quiet Tuesday coffee all happen in the same square.

Greens & Green Space

The Abita Springs Golf Club is next door, and the live-oak lawns of Fontainebleau State Park sit at the other end of the Trace in Mandeville. Space to breathe is the whole point of living out here.
