St. Tammany Parish is ready to welcome your group! Located less than an hour from New Orleans, Baton Rouge and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Louisiana Northshore is a destination in its own right. With exciting group-friendly amenities, the Louisiana Northshore welcomes you.

EXPERIENCE OUR CHARMING COMMUNITIES
Stroll Old Mandeville with their Historic Marker Tour! This QR code tour shares the history of 41 historic sites along the Mandeville lakefront. Walk or rent bicycles from Brooks' Bike Co-op to visit all the sites at your own pace.

On the National Register of Historic Places, the historic St. John district makes up a portion of the walkable, downtown area of Covington. Explore local shops, galleries, and H.J. Smith & Sons General Store and Museum, which has been family-owned and operated since 1876 and houses hundreds of items from 1870 through the early 1900s. Groups can visit the general store and museum Monday through Saturday while taking in all that Covington has to offer.
