    The Bogue Falaya Park is a great place for events, relaxing or having fun with the kids. The park is located along the banks of the Bogue Falaya River and offers a beautiful view of the river. There is a large playground area that the kids love. The playground reminds me of my favorite playground as a kid because it is made of wood. Most of the ground level decking is made of composite boards now, but the main structures are wood. The playground has swings, monkey bars, slides and all sorts of obstacles for the kids. The ground is sand so be prepared to get sand in your shoes, but it will be worth it. There is a large pavilion in the park which is available for rent. This would be a great place to plan a private event or outdoor wedding. The open space of the park is very large. There are some trees, but there is also a vast open area. It would be a great place to have a picnic or just lay back and watch the clouds roll by. There is ample parking inside the park unless there is a large event. When there is a large event, you are forced to park outside on the city streets and walk to the event. I highly recommend this park to families.

    Best park ever! Very large, plenty of unique play areas for kids. Lots of swings, including baby swings and a big swing for parents to sit in with baby or child. Picnic tables and an event space you can rent. Bathrooms and beautiful Louisiana scenery. The playground is old and wooden with lots of nooks & crannies for kids to play, feels like a big pirate ship!

    Kids really enjoyed this park. Wooden part could use some updates but it's still a great playground.

    Great little park near downtown Covington. Huge play ground for kids and lots of trees to offer shade.

    Appropriately enough, the Columbia Street Landing is a small, picturesque public park at the end of…read moreColumbia Street. Located on the meandering Bogue Falaya river, this location, though serene at present, served as a functioning harbor throughout the 1800s for the town of Covington. Right now, the "river" looks like a peaceful, lazy stream I could easily walk or swim across...but I'll take the park sign's word for it that this was once a bustling commercial port. This is one of the more well-hidden parks I've found anywhere, as it looks more than a bit like the backyard of the homes on either side of the park. A quaint gazebo and a fountain are located at the front of the park, while a concrete path heads down to the river, with a small wooden deck on its shore. To the left is a grassy clearing that is occasionally used for free concerts between March and October: http://covingtonweekly.com/2014/03/19/sunset-at-the-landing-free-concert-series-2014/ I wouldn't say that there is much to "do" here, but it's a pretty spot for a half-hour of relaxation, perhaps a picnic down by the water. Lovers of unheralded, uncrowded natural public spaces will want to seek out this idyllic little slice of parkland.

    Cute little spot to go fishing or hang out with friends and/or family. Nice to have a picnic and…read morehave a little time of relaxation.

Evidently the last owner of the house donated the house and some of the land to the state for a park which is great. It saves the land for use. I came to tour the house. You have to pay at the gate to drive on the premises, and pay for the tour. Then drive around and park near the house. Everything was quite lovely. I did not use any of the other facilities.

    For a state park campground, this facility is above average in my experience. The campsites up…read morefront are spread out. There is a lot of open ground between the rows of slips giving you a sense of open space. There is another campground section in the back where the boat ramp is with some space to park your vehicles with boat trailers. The facilities are well maintained. For example, the site directly across from me has a brand new picnic table which are more expensive than your average table since the entire frame is made from tubular metal to ward off termites. Each gender has three separate shower rooms available to them. Each room is lockable and comes with a toilet, a sink vanity, and a very large shower stall. The rooms are spacious so that parents can help their young children. There two sets of washers and dryers in that same centrally located building for the front campground. The rear campground has their own building with restrooms and showers. The dump station has a hand soap dispenser which is the first time I've seen that at a public campground. I camped in slip #26 which is located at the end of the row and has partial shade over half the slip all day long. The end of the row is next to the park boundary and on the other side is an old cemetery which makes for a quiet area buffer from any residences. After my first weekend, almost everyone else checked out and I had my row to myself. Located within the park is the historical Old Mill House Museum but tours were not available (mid June 2023) as they were currently doing repair work. There is a swamp trail boardwalk available for walking/hiking with periodic benches and a river view at one point. They have provided playground equipment and swings for the children. There are about 80 RV slips and all have water and power hook ups. There a half dozen or so with sewer hook ups. There is also a large tent camping area with no power hook ups. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores within just a few miles of the park in both Madisonville and Mandeville.

Some walked while some biked. Sugar Mill is a looping trail about a mile long. The alligator boardwalk trail was closed, likely due to damage from Ida and hasn't been repaired yet. There was another trail, but we did not take it. The massive cypress are just awesome! The Spanish moss slowly wavering in the air as you walk underneath these giants is just captivating to me! We did not encounter any creatures except squirrels and a male Orchard Orbweaver and his impressive web. Sooo much space and things to do here we didn't even do all of it. There's big open fields for playing, a playground, tons of parking available. I did see the pier and water of Lake Pontchartrain in the distance, but we were too hungry to keep exploring lol $3 per person to enter the park - 100% worth it

This little patch of land sits along the Mississippi River and the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, better known as the Industrial Canal. This area offers up excellent views of the City of New Orleans and some front row seats to the river boats passing by. Area has been pup friendly but due to its quite yet semi sketchy nature a leash is recommended. There are a few abandoned buildings nearby complete with mattresses, broken glass, and plenty of drug paraphernalia. Watch your step. Near the end of the land it drops down beyond the levee the a naturally made sandy area I hesitate to call a beach. You can usually find some campers set up in this area but typically they keep to themselves. Overall this little hidden gem is a decent little retreat without going outside the city. Feel free to bring a folding chair, blanket, and some suds for some r&r.
