Take a stroll or a run on Mandeville's beautiful lakefront of Lake Pontchartrain. Pets are welcome on leash. Food and drink on the lakefront are not. But there's tons of great spots to pop into for that!

The Mandeville Lakefront, 1834. This passive park, about one mile in length, was set apart by protective covenant by the town’s founder, Jean Bernard Xavier Phillippe de Marigny de Mandeville (1785-1868). On Lake Pontchartrain (so named in 1699 by Pierre LeMoyne, Sieur d’Iberville for the French Minister of Marine, Louis Phelypaux, Count de Pontchartrain), this is Mandeville’s heart and soul. Once there were numerous private and public wharves, steamer traffic, an electric rail car, and bath houses. All that remains of the golden age (1870-1930) is the gazebo, which has been rebuilt many times (2100 block) and the fountain, once fed by a natural spring (2200 block). From a letter by Pere Pierre Alphonse Chocarne, May 17, 1867 – "to Mandeville, which nestles near the border of the lake with neighboring villas and charming summer residences stretching along the shore…..Then came the fury of a tropical storm, succeeded by the magnificent sunset in the midst of clouds of gold and fire seen beyond the giant trees.” It is a Mandeville we all recognize today even though the letter was written over 100 years ago. And the lakefront’s beautiful sunsets, unpredictable tropical weather and massive oaks remain the heart and soul.

The giant oaks along Mandeville's lakefront are iconic for this old and lovely town on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Progressive yet protective of its heritage and natural beauty, Mandeville offers visitors shopping, memorable restaurants, attractions and places to explore the outdoors, like Northlake Nature Center and Fontainebleau State Park. The paved path at the lakefront is a popular spot for locals to walk their dogs, jog and stroll. The path along Lakeshore Drive connects two playgrounds on both the west and east side. Along the path, arbors, swings and benches can be found to rest a while, and many beautiful historic homes and several restaurants front the lake. Adjacent to the Tammany Trace in Old Mandeville is the town's Trailhead, featuring an interactive fountain with splash pad open March to October, a lookout tower, and amphitheater with seasonal community events, including free concerts in spring and fall. The Cultural Interpretive Center is a hands-on museum of Mandeville history including short films, touch screens and dioramas. The Mandeville Trailhead Community Market and Lafitte Street Market are held 9am-1pm Saturdays. Free entertainment and educational demonstrations, handmade crafts and prepared foods, and special events.
