Gabriel's Sunshine Park.Īfter a gap in the trail by the power station, you can continue south on the Carville Levee Trail. This section of the bike path continues for around fifteen miles before coming to a halt just south of the Willow Glen power station-the preceding mile of trail to the west is nicely paved for a change of pace, with a trailhead located at St. The path continues on an unpaved surface, ideal for runners and bikes with appropriate tires, heading east from the casino and following the bend in the river that forms the pleasantly named neighborhood of Sunshine. The paved path comes to an end at a trailhead located at the L'Auberge Casino complex, over twelve miles away from its northern terminus. Outside of the city proper, the trail meanders along the elevated levee through open fields and farmland, with the crowds of trail users thinning out as the landscape opens up. Although it narrows slightly, the route continues as a wide, smooth, and paved trail. Passing under the I-10 Mississippi River Bridge and running along the LSU campus, this section has lighting, benches, and drinking fountains. Heading south from the end of this 1-mile riverfront promenade, the trail continues as a 15-foot-wide paved pathway with separate lanes for bicycles and pedestrians for 4.31 miles to Farr Park.

In downtown Baton Rouge, the northern-most trail section is a brick pathway running along the water through the Riverfront Plaza & City Dock park (300 S River Rd, Baton Rouge). The trail also flanks the western side of the Louisiana State University campus. The Farr Park Equestrian Center, the USS Kidd Naval Museum, the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, and the beautiful castle-like Old State Capitol building can all be accessed from the paved pathway. The Baton Rouge Levee Bike Path links several downtown attractions along the Mississippi River and serves as one of the city's most popular outdoor recreation assets.
