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.

It is not uncommon to find this section of River Road completely flooded. If that is the case, your only option is to cross the spillway via Airline Highway, using LA-3217 to minimize the detour.

This bridge, officially called the Veterans Memorial Bridge, is the last of a series of bridges built to reduce ferry crossings after a tragic ferry accident in the 70s caused by a drunk crew. It was the newest bridge over the Mississippi in Louisiana until the completion of the John James Audubon Bridge in 2011.

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.

Algiers is the second oldest neighborhood in New Orleans and well worth a visit at the end of your ride (or even as a break in the middle). Your pace will be slowed down here and you will want to linger wandering amongst the old wooden houses and discovering its history with music.

This cable-styled bridge, also known as Luling Bridge, is striking for its simplicity of form. Just two towers and a few cables sustain almost the entire structure, which connects Destrehan, on the East Bank, with Luling, on the West Bank. The bridge was a witness, during its construction in 1976, to the MV George Prince ferry disaster.

This beautiful levee trail, much less popular than its cousin on the opposite bank of the river, is paved from Algiers all the way to Hahnville with just two interruptions that are moderately easy to circle around. Being less frequented and quite well-paved turn it into a great route for training sessions.

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.
