The former Illinois Central railroad line has been bought by St. Tammany Parish and is now a 31-mile trail suitable for walking, running and cycling between Covington and Slidell.
Historic downtown Covington has developed an area at the northern end of the Tammany Trace. This makes for an ideal place for both families and cyclists to begin their trip along the Trace.
Brooks' Bike Shop in downtown Covington offers bicycle rentals, along with repairs. The shop is located on the Trace path and is worth a visit for those looking to cycle along the Trace.
