within 50 miles

Situated on the Gulf Coastal Plain along the Mississippi River floodplain, Baton Rouge is characterized by flat lowlands, bayous and cypress-tupelo swamps rather than rugged elevation. Within 50 miles hikers will find a single easy, short creekside trail that leads to a modest roadside cascade and woodland seep; boardwalks and low-elevation hardwood forest make the approach simple, and the area's subtropical vegetation and seasonal flows provide an unusual contrast to the surrounding urban and agricultural landscape.
