The Abita River is a river in southeastern Louisiana in the United States. It is a tributary of the Bogue Falaya, which flows to the Tchefuncte River and then onto Lake Pontchartrain.
The Abita River rises in central St. Tammany Parish and flows generally west-southwest through central St. Tammany Parish, through Abita Springs, and empties into the Bogue Falaya on the southeast side of Covington.
The length of the Abita River, from headwaters to the mouth, has been designated as a "Natural and Scenic River" by the state government of Louisiana.[1]
