While clearly benefiting from our proximity to New Orleans, East St. Tammany Parish has come into its own in tourism and relocation value.

The development of the 31 mile long Tammany Trace along an abandoned railroad connection is fast becoming a popular avenue for hiking, jogging, cycling, birdwatching, and family outings. The many miles of scenic bayous, streams, creeks and rivers are havens for weekend boateers and campers.
