Description: The Delta Heritage Trail is a rail-to-trail conversion that was acquired by Arkansas State Parks in 1993.

Call for updated information.
Location: Upon completion, this rails-to-trails conversion will extend from one mile south of Lexa (approximately 7 miles west of West Helena on Hwy. 242) to approximately 7 miles north of McGehee on Hwy. 1. The first four-mile segment stretches from Helena junction to Barton (Lick Creek). Trail heads are located at both Helena junction and Walnut Corner at the U.S. 49 overpass.
