Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 is located in New Orleans' Garden District and was established in 1833. On a single block, there are approximately 1,100 family plots, many of which have been used for generations. The cemetery is known for its dense development, clearly structured pathways, and some of the elaborately designed gravesites. The site has been used as a filming location several times: scenes for Interview with the Vampire, Double Jeopardy, The Originals, and Dracula 2000, among others, were shot here.

New Orleans City Park is the largest outdoor attraction in New Orleans at 1,300 acres, surpassing Central Park in size. It is also one of the oldest parks in the country, and features many different attractions, including the New Orleans Botanical Garden, Storyland playground, and Carousel Gardens Amusement Park, alongside themed gardens, biking and walking paths, live concerts, and the world’s largest grove of mature live oak trees. The park offers facilities for various events, recreational rentals like surreys and swan boats, and private gondola rides. Be aware if riding your bike: golf carts are allowed on designated roads but not on bike paths or grassy areas, and they must follow posted speed limits.

The Greenway is one of the best ways to get from Mid-City to Downtown since it is a fully protected route and not in the street. There are a couple of street crossings with crosswalks.

Bayou Metairie was created when the Mississippi River shifted 2,600 years ago, and now it's the centerpiece of a city park. There are a number of bridges, benches, and lookouts that are meant for viewing the bayou. The trails in and around the wetlands are great for jogging.

You might want to hop off your bike and push it across the wooden bridge if someone else is on the bridge (it can be a tight squeeze if you go 2 wide). There is a cool view up and down the river feeding the bayous and wetlands here on the coast.

Camp Salmen Nature Park serves as the southern terminus of the Tammany Trace. The park itself offers hiking trails, birding, and other recreational options, but the trails are not open to bicycles. There are many other parks and trail systems that you will pass if riding the Tammany Trace north.

Also known as Milneburg Lighthouse, the name of the resort town that was erected here in the early 19th century. The lighthouse was built as part of a series of federal lighthouses with the purpose of navigational aid to the new ports on the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain.

Traversed by a few paved roads, the City Park can be partially visited by bike and with plenty of places to park, it can also be a good point to start a route. The park is an exuberant respite of nature in the middle of the city and its ancient oak trees and moss canopies make it evident that this is one of the oldest urban parks in the country.
