As part of the “rails-to-trails” provision of the National Trails System Act, the Delta Heritage Trail State Park began development along seventy-three miles of abandoned Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way in eastern Arkansas. Beginning in Phillips County, the trail continues through Arkansas County and ends in Desha County. Along the trail are some fifty-eight bridges, one of which, the bridge near Helena-West Helena (Phillips County), is shown here.
