Metro New Orleans Mississippi River Eastbank Levee Trail

For anyone that may be interested in riding the 22 mile long Mississippi River Eastbank Levee Trail that runs through the metropolitan New Orleans area, following is a route map for the bike trail. I created the map as an experiment to test the free mapping tool I discovered online at miejsce.info.

What kind of shape is the trail in, post-Katrina?

I'm planning to ride on it in approx. 4wks from today. Are there any dangers from crime or other hazards?

The Bill Keller bike trail along the Eastbank levee of the Mississippi River is the best place for cycling in the New Orleans area.

Named after a now deceased local cycling advocate, the condition of the trail is quite good. There are great views of the river and there are many riders throughout the day so I'd say it's very safe.

If I had to name an area I'd consider less safe on the trail, it would be the section that skirts Kenner's Rivertown but I'd be surprised if you had any problems at all.

Thanks, Larry, for the information. I'm planning to catch up to the trail at the southern end of Williams Boulevard, Kenner, early on a Sunday morning.

Take care.
