Bayou Greenbelt

PROJECT OVERVIEW

An interconnected network of blue and green trails, the Bayou Greenbelt will transform the quality of life, resilience, drainage, and connections to the natural environment and recreation. Trailheads and boat launches will provide access to new multi-use trails and bayous and coulees that are currently not accessible. The Bayou Greenbelt could become a beloved amenity, connecting people to that natural environment that makes SWLA special.
