Hike, Wild Azalea Trail Head, Louisiana, USA
The Wild Azalea Trail in Kisatchie National Forest carries the honor of being the longest hiking trail in the state. The WAT (Wild Azalea Trail) lies south and west of Alexandria, LA. Its end points are at the Kistachie National Forest’s Valentine Lake Recreation Area and Woodworth Town Hall.
Along the trail you will pass through a variety of ecosystems. Parts of the trail are lower with hardwoods and lazy creeks creating a beautiful backdrop to your hike or mountain bike ride. Other parts are higher and hillier with the Longleaf Pines gracing your path.
At 28 miles in length, the WAT can be traversed in as little as a single day for the super ambitious, or a multi-day backpacking trip for those that want to take their time.
