With so many hiking trails in Louisiana, you could explore a new trail every weekend for the rest of your life and still not get to all of them. Of course, some trails are more popular than others, but that’s not the case with Lost Man Loop. This waterfront hiking trail in Louisiana tends to get overshadowed by its big brother nearby, but this lovely loop trail is just perfect for a quiet hike. Let’s check it out:
