Cypress Bend Trail
A 2.6-mile out-and-back in Louisiana, with 135 ft of climbing.
Elevation profile
Most of the climbing sits in the first third — 64% of the ascent, between mile 0.0 and mile 0.9. It gives back about 235 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.

Daylight at the trailhead
On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:18 a.m., the sun rises at 6:43 a.m. and sets at 7:36 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:01 p.m. (CDT) — 12 h 52 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 5.3-mile round trip takes roughly 2 h 05 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 8:49 a.m. — 10 h 47 min before sunset.
