The address is 1536 Crowley Rayne Hwy, Crowley, LA 70526. The drive-in appears to be intact in a 1971 aerial photo, but at some point afterwards was demolished.

Today, there is no trace of the drive-in left. https://goo.gl/maps/J4fZY

An article about Crowley’s theaters in the June 16, 2013, issue of The Crowley Post-Signal (PDF here) says that the Trail Drive-In opened on Sunday, July 3, 1949, with the James Cagney movie Blood on the Sun. The house advertised two shows nightly, at dusk and at 10:00 PM.

The Trail Drive-In remained open until late September, 1968. Though it advertised at that time that it was closing temporarily for repairs, it appears to have never reopened.
