A river neighborhood reached by ferry
Bicycles travel in racks at the rear of the passenger ferry. Walk the bike from the landing to the crown of the levee before deciding whether to explore Algiers Point or turn upstream toward Gretna.
Service is not around the clock and fog can occasionally suspend crossings. Check the RTA schedule and alerts on the day of the ride.
What to notice
Take time for the cottages, small businesses, benches, and broad views back toward the New Orleans skyline. The neighborhood rewards a slow loop before the more exposed levee ride.
The path atop the levee includes plaques honoring jazz musicians. Use the supplied lock when stopping for food or a drink.
