This is a wonderful and beautiful state park just across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. It's a great place to go for a little day trip. There are lots of walking paths, a small lakefront beach, and a bike path. If you don't want to pack a picnic, it is really close to the cities of Mandeville and Covington where there are plenty of restaurant options.
