Commentary
Some people stay for a day, others for a lifetime. Island Life roams the backroads and shoreline of Grand Isle for a reflection of Island living, past and present. Terrain is generally flat with the exception of one hill. Traveling back roads (all paved), you will encounter minimal traffic. The recommended start/end point is at the ferry dock, where parking and provisions are available. Lodging is available at Inns and B&B's along the loop. Grand Isle State Park is also a good location to start the loop, especially if you'd like to camp.
