Arkansas has a great trail in the Delta Heritage Trail, it's just a shame that it seems no one is aware of it. I started my ride in Lexa and rode to Mellwood making for a 60 mile ride. As others have mentioned the first two miles from Lexa to the Barton visitors center is comprised of chunkier gravel. It is perfectly passable for a hybrid bike but really isn't worth the effort unless you are looking to start at the very end of the trail. The rest of my ride was on very smooth gravel which crossed multiple very quiet dirt roads. Be aware that the north part of the trail was not very shaded from about Lakeview to Mellwood.
This trail is very well funded and taken care of. The trailheads all had clean bathrooms and water fountains. It is a shame that I only met one other person for the vast majority of my 60 mile ride on Labor Day weekend. Arkansas and the Walton Foundation need to complete the gap in this trail and bring more awareness to it. This would drive much needed business to this area and turn it into a truly great trail.
Those green metal poles in the greenway that you would assume are solidly in place may not be...one was not secured into the ground and fell on to my son's foot and broke his toe.
Trail is poorly maintained, narrow and probably best for walking not road biking. Trail is paved, but very rough in many spots. Completely void of directional signs, makes it difficult for first timers.
Trail had some cracks and stones. It didn’t make in-line skating too difficult, just had to be cautious. Scenery was nice and trail was short. My dogs loved it. Would be a great trail for kids
We had the wonderful experience of riding this rails to trails, 37 miles from Barton to Elaine, May, 2023. The bathrooms at the visitors center were clean and air conditioned. Great metal benches along the way. The water station, bathroom in Elaine was clean. We went to the Delta Hardware shop for cold drinks and treats, they were happy to see us. Where the trail is in the “flats” without trees, the chat was thick on the east side of the trail, beware.
Can’t wait for the completion and addition of rest stops.
I’m starting to see quite a number of electric assisted bikes on the trail. The shame of that is a lot of the riders are inexperienced in handling the heavier bikes. They tend to ride faster without care of other riders. I saw someone on the trail today whose “scooter” was electric power with no pedals. It’s ruining the experience on the trail for the regular bikers. What a shame.
We parked at the Delta Heritage Trail State Park on the very northern part of the trail. Excellent staff and facilities. However, we rode for 2 miles and turned around. We did not find it to be 'crushed' gravel but bigger rocks. Maybe the southern section is better. We prefer a smoother trail surface rather than looking down. We really wanted to like this trail but it wasn't for us. We headed 2 hours to Little Rock and rode the Arkansas River Trail instead.
The trail includes four fitness stations along the way.
Parked at Wolf River Trail Head. Nice off path trails that are signposted (temporary signposts) to left and right of path. Left trail dead ends, right trail goes parallel to path and rejoins path. Nice underfoot in woods, lots of wooden board walks. Doesn’t connect to other parts of Wolf River Trail yet (as of August ‘22).
Heavy rain all last night & this morning which caused Wolf River & tributaries to flood parts of the trail. All was passable but several muddy areas. Took wrong turn several times due to intersections not marked which way to go. Enjoyed the ride.
This was a nice trail with a lot of shade and wide gates. We did Elaine visitors center to Lake View and back. Trail was smooth and paving good. Enjoyed the short side ride to see Lake View and read about it’s history. The restrooms were clean at visitors center and we changed out of our bike clothes there. Like to ride balance of trail another time.
