Covington, LA

When we chose Covington, we had hoped to take advantage of some of the attractions in the area, such as a visit to the Abita Beer brewery in Abita Springs, walk around historic Covington, and go for a road bike ride on the Tammany Trace. Well, we weren't able to take advantage of much. We jogged on the Trace and we walked around Covington. We liked downtonwn Covington with its characteristic buildings - some tin roofed cottages, others with fancy wrought iron railings.

Missing out on The Trace just leaves something to do on another visit. What we learned about the Trace was that there are some major road crossings to be careful of. It sounds like the most scenic area might be from Mandeville to Slidell. This cuts through Fountainbleu State Park and some bayous. We just wanted to remember this for the next time!
