How to Get To Fontainebleau State Park

Picture

​Directions:
​
From I-12, take LA 59 (exit 65) south toward Mandeville. Turn east on US 190; do not turn at the main park entrance; the entrance to Group Camp 3 is about 1/2 mile farther east from the main gate. If you wish to go into the main part of the park, you will be charged an entrance fee of $3 per person (free for those 62 and over and children under 3 years of age).

From Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, it is about a 45-minute drive to the park across the lake via the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway (this is a toll road; $5 per two-axle vehicle). Click here for driving directions from the airport.

Note: all times are approximate (and probably highly optimistic; traffic on the interstates is usually horrible).
