Canopied Hiking Paradise


If you and your Frugal Family Travelers are looking for something to do in the great outdoors, consider visiting the Mary Ann Brown Preserve in St.  Francisville.  Although in Louisiana, just outside Baton Rouge,  the terrain is quite hilly with several overlooks and bridges, which traverse over creek beds.  These features make the preserve a beautiful place for those seeking a hiking opportunity with a more rugged mountainous feel.   The trail is also completely canopied with trees which makes it the perfect hike on a hot day.  Also appealing is the opportunity to group this excursion with other attractions in the area to create a weekend or longer getaway (see links below pictures).


Admission:

Free


Website to Preserve: 

Mary Ann Brown Nature Preserve


Note:   Pack bug spray, water and snacks!  Several  benches can be found on the trail, so consider packing a lunch to enjoy during one of your hiking breaks!
