There are few things as soothing as taking a casual stroll with the breeze in your face and the sweet views of the water before you. Luckily, living in Louisiana affords us many pleasures, and waterfront views are just one of them. The next time you’re looking for a little adventure, hop on the Causeway and head on over to the Mandeville Lakefront, a picturesque little spot near New Orleans.

The Mandeville Lakefront is one of the best places you can go for a quiet, peaceful, and scenic afternoon, and it’s only a short drive from the city.
