Gravel Cycling in the Delta

The Arkansas Delta offers exceptional gravel cycling on the network of farm roads, levee maintenance roads, and quiet rural lanes that crisscross the agricultural landscape. The flat terrain makes for efficient riding, while the minimal traffic creates a peaceful experience.

Popular routes include levee roads along the Mississippi River, farm lanes through working agricultural areas, and connections to the paved Delta Heritage Trail. The landscape offers unique Delta scenery: vast cotton and rice fields, cypress-lined sloughs, and big sky views.

The Edwardian Inn welcomes gravel cyclists with bike storage, a bike wash station, and local route recommendations. Early morning rides are particularly rewarding, with chances to spot wildlife before the heat of the day.
