Bossier City, Louisiana · Up to 1 mile return · Asphalt bicycle / walking path; inspect flood silt and pavement
Start: Arthur Ray Teague Parkway riverside trail, Teague Parkway Recreation Area, Bossier City, LA. Fresh waterway commission lists public recreation-area parking and picnic facilities. Enter signed Teague Parkway recreation area on river side immediately south of Barksdale Bridge. Use designated ordinary day-use spaces, not trailer-only stalls or launch lanes; walk lot connection to main riverside path. Use designated ordinary visitor spaces, respect reserved spaces and walk through the lot to the signed main path. The address identifies a public facility, not a surveyed stall.
Ride: Follow the signed main path south on the separate asphalt riverside main trail. Turn after 0.5 outward miles or before the first public-road crossing, work barrier, uncertain continuation or uncomfortable transition, whichever comes first; retrace. Walk any initial lot or access-drive interface. Do not use a road or private-property detour.
Distance: Chosen 1-mile maximum return, not the full regional corridor or a surveyed parking-to-parking distance. Earlier interfaces shorten the outing; parking walking is extra.
Permission and effort: Source-backed ordinary bicycle use on the designated improved main path; walking-only spurs and adjacent private property are excluded. Short half-mile outward riverside course is an editorial modest-effort selection, not a published flatness or numerical slope claim. Walk any lot ramp and turn before climbing, broken tread or uncomfortable transition.
Planning: Daylight and posted recreation-area gates; boat launch hours do not establish all-trail 24 hour use. No current ordinary access tariff established; posted terms govern. Event, camping and rental charges are separate. Use designated public day-use spaces, respect reservations, leash pets under 6 feet and yield to walkers. No overnight camping. Ordinary pedal bicycles; no refuge hiking-spur or e-bike permission inferred.
Access reviewed October 20, 2026 Central (October 21 UTC): Parish 2020 account confirms asphalt bicycle use; fresh retrieval does not make it a 2026 field report. Current recreation inventory supports this public arrival. Historical 2015/2016 high-water closures illustrate flood susceptibility, not a present closure; inspect silt / local barriers. Proposed 2021 extension is not presumed built and not needed for this short course. No crossing of Parkway or arena pedestrian bridge. This is a dated source review, not a field inspection or current-day all-clear. Postpone for snow, ice, high water, soft tread or barriers rather than improvising a bypass.
Bring water and choose suitable weather. Parking walking is extra. No surveyed parking-space pin or navigable GPX is supplied.
