There is a charming little town just northeast of my new home, Abita Springs. Known for the healing waters that flow from the natural, deepwater spring that is available in the town center park, this little village is a delight to visit and the perfect place to take the kids for nature expeditions.
The St. Tammany Trail is readily available with beautiful paths that wander through rustic nature….
Creeks to gaze upon and some of South Louisiana’s prettiest scenery.
This is also the home of Abita Brewery that uses the healing waters to make their special beers. Visit the tasting room at the brewery and the cafe at the town center where you can enjoy delicious food as well tastings of the companies concoctions. Right now you might want to indulge in their special Strawberry Ale. Not what you might expect but so amazing!
We visit once a week to fill bottles and enjoy the delicious, natural sweetness others have enjoyed for centuries! There are countless tales of people being healed by drinking the water from Abita Springs.
If you’re visiting the New Orleans area put Abita Springs on your list of “must sees” ! You’ll love it and find so much to explore and discover!!
