Reviewed 2026-10-22. Official West Baton Rouge tourism identifies the current five-mile nonmotorized paved Brusly–Addis trail and distinguishes future additions. This is not a declaration that the entire parish Heritage Trailway is connected or that all levee gates and maintenance areas are open. Turn before any closure. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
