Delta Heritage Trail State Park is a 73 mile “Rails to
Trails” hiking and biking trail that starts near Lexa and
Barton and when finished will end near McGehee. At this time only
the first 14 miles is finished (Lexa to Lake View) and open to the
public. It is very open and extremely well maintained and runs
through some unique delta area landscape we‘re sure you will
enjoy. This is a great trail if you like open spaces and wildlife
actually living in the wild plus with the easy access you can do
this one in small sections using the 4 parking areas provided so
far.
This old elevated Delta area railroad easement is now surfaced
with small gravel, so smooth all you need are street tires on your
bike and no boots needed. No ruts, no mud, no fighting your way
through brier patches or poison oak, great bridges, park benches
along the way, and there are year round primitive camp sites and
picnic tables at the Visitor Center on Hwy#49 plus you can even
rent bikes there for the little cachers. (Pick up some bird
watching brochures here too, not telling what you may see along the
trail.) And at the right time of the year lots of large pecans can
be found along the trail.
