Discover the Yancopin Bridge Hike

Here is your chance to experience a place in the deep Delta woods that few people have passed through in decades, the Yancopin Bridge. Join a park interpreter for a 3-mile, round-trip hiking journey on Delta Heritage Trail lasting approximately 2.5 hours. Your journey begins on a gravel-surface trail, leading about one mile into a lowland forest before reaching the historic railroad bridge, which stretches roughly 0.5-mile across the Arkansas River. This impressive structure offers sweeping views of the river and tells the story of the former rail line’s challenging crossing, set within a quiet, forested landscape. Participants will meet at the Watson Trailhead and then caravan in their own vehicles to a location near the bridge. Registration is required by calling the park no later than the day before the program at (870) 572-2352. Please bring drinking water, snacks, insect repellent, and sunscreen. Dress to be outdoors and wear comfortable hiking footwear. #ARSpringBreak
