You might hear and catch a glimpse of the happenings at Fair Grounds Race Course, one of the oldest horse tracks in the United States, as well as the site of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. You will be paddling along side beautiful City Park, which houses centuries-old live oak trees. You’ll see New Orleans Museum of Art as you pass the grand entrance of the park.

The Music Tree is a beautiful piece of outdoor artwork. It was created by artist Marlin Miller, whose beautiful designs are symbolic of the area’s history and culture. The tree is located on the Jefferson Davis Trail, on the intersection of Orleans Avenue and Bayou St. John.
While this tree survived Hurricane Katrina, it was actually killed by lightning seven years later by Hurricane Isaac.
