Directions to White Horse - Might be helpful for 1st Timers

For many in the New Orleans area, actually in Jefferson Parish the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.  Crossing Lake Pontchartrain on the Causeway and then continuing straight when the roadway turns into LA 190 toward Covington. You/I/we then veer right onto LA 21 in a northeasterly direction and then north when it turns north at Bush. Straight north on LA 21 past Varnado and Angie. The road turns into MS 35 at the state line. Continue north for about 7.25 miles past the state line. Look for a large pond near the 7 mile mark, you will also notice a green arched bridge at the back side of the pond. Just past the pond you will turn left onto Hurricane Creek Rd. (there is a brown utility building here with white doors) and continue on it for approximately 3.25 miles. You will come to the sign for the White Horse Christian Retreat Camp (315 Hurricane Creek Rd., Sandy Hook, MS) on a fence in front of you. Turn to the right here and continue north for approximately 1 mile to the entrance to the White Horse Christian Retreat.



Headed home I retrace my steps, but instead of veering to the right on LA 21 toward Covington, I stay straight and follow the directions to Pearl River, LA, and then on to Slidell via a short stretch of I-59 and then I-10 at Slidell and on in to New Orleans.



Going up, the distance for me is about 91 miles and headed home it is 96 miles.



Once again, verify the best route for you using MapQuest or some other program. Travel time is about 90 minutes for me.
