"There are spots to view Lake Pontchartrain that are closer to the city limits of New Orleans, and some neighborhoods even lie up against it, but it’s on the Northshore where you can really explore this scenic natural resource to its fullest. Nature trails, hiking, fishing, sailing and all manner of water sports and outdoors activities take place on the shores of Louisiana’s own great lake." - Paul Oswell
