Mandeville Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Our Take on Mandeville, Louisiana


A Mandeville vacation starts with a drive on the world’s longest bridge across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. Back in the 1800’s, wealthy New Orleanians began to build resorts along the lakeshore in the 1800s. Today, you might enjoy the upscale shopping districts and fine Louisiana cuisine around fashionable Mandeville.

Among the many family friendly things to do in Mandeville is visiting the Tammany Trace, Louisiana’s first rails-to-trails conversion.  Walkers, bicyclists, equestrians, rollerbladers, and joggers enjoy the scenic 31-mile recreational corridor. The  Northlake Nature Center has been called St. Tammany Parish’s “Secret Garden.” This 400-acre pine and hardwood forest teems with native animal and plant life, including a marsh, Bayou Castine and an active beaver pond. If you love sleeping under the stars, visit Fontainebleau State Park, with tent sites and cabins, nature and hiking trails.

Mandeville accommodations perfect for a romantic getaway include the Pollyana Bed and Breakfast. The English hospitality at this serene bed & breakfast includes antiques, just a block from scenic Lake Pontchartrain. Or visit the Mar Villa Guest House, a kid friendly, fully restored 1870s boarding house near the lake.

You'll find lots of things to do in Mandeville, Louisiana.
