Philip L. Matassa, Jr. filed this suit against the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company (Missouri Pacific). . The Court has conducted a non-jury trial in the case and finds that plaintiff’s suit should be dismissed with prejudice. The Court now issues its Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, In formulating its factual findings, the Court took into consideration the credibility of the witnesses who testified in this trial.

On May 29, 1989, Matassa was driving his ATV three-wheeler along railroad *491tracks located adjacent to Louisiana Highway 1 between Donaldsonville and White Castle. Both the land and the railroad tracks are owned by Missouri Pacific. Ma-tassa approached a dirt path on his right leading down the railroad track embankment toward his home. After turning down the path, which was located in a heavily wooded and overgrown area, he proceeded a short distance down the path when he hit a two and one-half-feet high post protruding from the ground.

Plaintiff filed this suit to recover for the injuries sustained when he fell from his ATV. Plaintiff contends that his view of the post was obstructed by overgrown brush. Thus, plaintiff claims this accident resulted because the defendant breached its duty of care to warn him that this broken post was located near a narrow path which plaintiff was using without the permission and consent of the railroad.

Defendant claims that it did not breach any duty to plaintiff and that any injuries plaintiff sustained were caused by plaintiffs own negligence. Defendant also claims immunity under Louisiana’s recreational immunity statutes.1

This Court has jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship and venue is proper.2 Since this is a diversity case, the Court must apply the law of Louisiana in reaching its decision.

A review of the evidence in this case clearly shows there was no negligence on the part of Missouri Pacific. The sole cause for the injury sustained by the plaintiff was plaintiffs own negligence in traveling at a high rate of speed down a narrow path which was located in a very heavily wooded area which was overgrown with brush. The post which the plaintiff struck was not even located on the path. The Court believes it would be stretching Louisiana law to find that the defendant had a duty to warn trespassers of the existence of the post or to take any other action to clear the post from the area. Indeed, the pictures of the post revealed that the broken post involved in the accident looked like many of the trees in the area, some of which were also partially down. The path was not placed in the wooded area for the use of plaintiff, or anyone else, to drive his ATV. Indeed, there was no evidence presented that the path was used by persons driving ATV’s in the past or that the railroad knew of such use, if in fact people had driven the path in an ATV in the past.

This case is different from a case where the accident may have occurred on a railroad track, at an intersection, or where trees had blocked the intersection. In this case, the plaintiff was a trespasser who was travelling at a high rate of speed down an embankment on a narrow path in a heavily wooded and overgrown area.

Under the facts of this case, the Court finds that Missouri Pacific did not owe a duty to plaintiff to protect him from this kind of accident. The plaintiff was a trespasser on the railroad’s property.3 No duty exists under Louisiana law toward a trespasser in most instances except to refrain from wilfully or wantonly injuring him.4 There was no evidence of such conduct in this case. Missouri Pacific did not invite plaintiff to use its property, nor to drive down this path. The Court finds that defendant did not breach any duty of care under Louisiana law.

Louisiana law does not impose on a property owner the duty to warn of all risks, but only to warn of unreasonable risks.5 A broken post located in the woods, *492off of the beaten path, and covered with brush is much like a dead tree in a forest.6 Plaintiff conceded that the area is heavily wooded and that there were other ways he could have driven home. It is clear that considering the location of the post in the overgrown area, the post did not present an unreasonable risk of harm to the plaintiff or any other trespasser who may have been walking or riding through the area.

Moreover, plaintiff did not prove that the defendant knew or should have known of the post. Furthermore, a plaintiff who sues for injuries sustained as a result of an obstacle in a pathway has a duty to maintain a proper lookout to see if his path is clear.7 Plaintiff testified that he did not look down the path to see if it was clear before turning and proceeding in the manner and at the speed he was traveling at the time of the accident.8 The plaintiff was an experienced rider of the ATV and an avid hunter. He had driven many times in the woods on hunting trips and during other recreational activities and had come across broken trees on many occasions. On some occasions he would even knowingly or unknowingly drive over these broken trees while riding his ATV. Plaintiff also did not follow the instructions which came with his ATV in this case. In short, the sole cause of plaintiffs accident and injury was the plaintiffs own negligence. Defendant did not breach any duty imposed upon it by Louisiana law under the facts of this case.

For reasons set forth above, plaintiffs suit shall be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Judgment shall be entered accordingly.
