Great trail, well maintained, beautiful and scenic.
We rode the trail today 10-19-2024. We started by trying to find two listed parking spots on the south side of the river without success, so we parked somewhere else that was next to the trail. We first tried going east on the trail toward Clinton library where we wanted to cross the river but were told by some men that the sidewalk was closed so we turned around and went west only to run into a dead end. The section looked nice with some cute statues/sculptures and open seating areas but the trail was very poorly marked so it was a challenge to find out where we were supposed to go next. We loaded up and drove across the river and parked at the maritime museum (nice large parking lot) parking lot. We then went west to the end of the trail. Very pretty! We passed kids playing soccer, men playing golf, beautiful water side homes, playgrounds, the Big Rock Quarry, lots of people walking, biking, skating, etc. Very enjoyable.
Rode from downtown Little Rock from the Marriott to the bridge over the Arkansas River by the Clinton Presidential Library and then all the way west on the north side of the river out to the Big Dam Bridge and then back across the river and continued west to the end of Two Rivers park. The trail is basically flat except for the bridges, wide and paved. Once you get two or so miles west of Clinton Bridge, The trail is basically a mixture of park spaces and greenway along the River. It’s beautiful. We rode on a weekday. I imagine on the weekend it may be more crowded. We were told to Stay away from the south river stretch because of construction and the fact that it isn’t as scenic.
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
Burns park closed but trail open to pass through!! Signage a bit lacking west of downtown sculpture park.
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.
We parked at Julius Breckling Riverfront Park ($3/hr) and crossed the Arkansas River to the north side at Gateway Bridge, and proceeded north-west until Burns Park, where access was blocked due to the recent tornado damage. The security guard informed us that this will be a long term closure. We turned around and crossed back to the south side of the river at the Clinton Presidential Park Bridge. Note that the Clinton Library has parking.
There is much highway construction downtown making route finding challenging at times.
We had hoped to get to the Big Dam Bridge, but even with the truncated ride, it was very scenic and pleasant.
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.
Wonderful ride, we have ridden the entire trail and love this ride. Well marked, easy ride with amazing scenery.
Lots of visual interest downtown with monuments and statues. A little hard to keep on trail as there was a lot of construction and detours. Only managed a couple of miles before hitting a dead end. I’d definitely return at a later date for a longer run hopefully on a less interrupted trail.
I am so happy I drove up here from Louisiana to ride this trail. Really beautiful. I parked at the Clinton Library parking lot then rode downtown (be aware this is challenging due to all the construction so parts of the trail on the Little Rock side are closed). Also rode through Heifer Village and the Clinton library grounds. My recommendation is to go across the Clinton bridge then ride all the way down to the Big Dam bridge on the North Little Rock side & cross there. From the bridge you can go left to Murray Park or right to Twin Rivers Park Bridge. I just turned around and came back the way I had already rode. A local had advised me that traffic on the Little Rock side especially near the Dillards corporate headquarters was brutal. On the North Little Rock you’re rarely sharing the road and even then traffic was very light.
