Delta Heritage Trail State Park — Attraction in Helena-West Helena

As an outdoor adventurer, state parks are my go to place to visit. Delta Heritage Trail State Park was an absolute delight. The trails are absolutely beautiful. I unfortunately was so enthralled with this one I forgot to take pictures lol. As a photographer this is definitely a photo opportunity for portraits. If you are looking for the gift shop to add to your collection of Arkansas State parks, this is one that needs to be visited. Especially if your next stop is 26 minutes down the road to The Louisiana Purchase State Park. If you are looking to get your Arkansas Passport stamped they do have a stamp inside. If you visit after closing, they also have a Passport station outside. Both convenient obviously. They have bathrooms if you need a pit stop before heading to the next stop. The staff is helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. There are lots to do in the area as well if you want to make a day. Picnic areas, bathrooms, trails to explore. Down the road is restaurants, gas stations and more. D.H.T. State Park is sitting in a historical part of Arkansas that has much to offer. This is definitely one you would need to take your time to explore. As a historian, this...

North bound or south bound bikers needing a place to stay, look no further than Delta Oaks Lodge less than a quarter mile to the east from Mellwood,...

This is a gem of a trail! We biked the 12 miles from the visitor center to Lake View, then back. 90% of this trail section is shaded (though by noon there's more sun through the treetops). Biking on the morning of July 4th, the only other person we saw was a park ranger. The facilities at the visitor center are marvelous, and the historic information at the Lake View stop is educational and interesting. Make the effort, you'll enjoy this well maintained, beautiful, peaceful trail. Like for us, it might be just you and the dragonflies and...
