This 20+ mile paved path along the southern shores of Lake Pontchartrain is perfect for a burn ride, or a rather meditative one, due to it being mostly straight for its entire length. The Lake steals the show, but there are a few other interesting stops along the way, such as boardwalks, parks, outfall canals, mansions, and the Causeway.
