4559 N Rampart St

New Orleans, LA 70117

This grassy strip of levee sits at the intersection of the Industrial Canal and the Mississippi River, right behind a decommissioned, graffiti-bedecked naval base. It’s kind of like the rough-and-tumble older sibling of Crescent Park, where anything goes—from bonfires to off-leash dog walking. Walk down Rampart Street until it dead-ends, then cross over the train tracks and climb the levee for raw, majestic river views.
