St. Tammany Parish Meetings

Stretched across the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana is just 40 minutes north of New Orleans’ French Quarter, about an hour from Mississippi Gulf Coast casinos, and from Plantation Country south of Baton Rouge. It is also a destination in its own right. In fact, New Orleanians have considered The Northshore a getaway since the 1880s, when steamboats brought them across the lake to stay in large resorts shaded by tall trees, where the air was cooler and cleaner and the deep-spring water was reputed to cure ills and calm nerves. Today, visitors come to The Northshore for its natural beauty, 80,000 acres of green spaces and waterways, great culinary and cultural scenes, picturesque towns, golfing and exciting attractions.

Louisiana Tours and Adventures, Kevin Garrett

Our small towns offer big luxuries, affordability and accessibility. Located at the confluence of I-10, I-12, and I-59, The Northshore is an ideal meeting destination with more than 3,000 hotel rooms at a great value. When the work is done, the Northshore is a great place to play. Come early or stay late, even plan the ultimate “working” vacation. Catch a monster trout or record redfish. Play a round of golf, tour Honey Island Swamp, canoe Cane Bayou or cycle the beautiful Tammany Trace. Hungry? Check out our Louisiana specialties, from upscale Creole to down-home favorites like spicy boiled crawfish and fat oyster po-boys that satisfy the soul. Wash it all down with locally brewed Abita Beer, and celebrate the good life with us on The Northshore.
