Big River Crossing

West Memphis project aims to transform floodplain into wetlands, trails and public green space A growing park just across the Mississippi River is working to blend conservation, recreation and education while creating a new green space for families in the Mid-South.

"Besides amazing landscapes, there is a cultural heritage connected with the Delta blues, which emerged from the Mississippi Delta as one of the most influential roots of modern popular music. The dusty trails on which the early blues musicians travelled provide the perfect surface for our tyres."

Markus Stitz takes a ride on the Big River Trail and comes away with a deep respect for the gravel ways and the people of the Deep South. Read more of his journey in Single Track World: https://bit.ly/4mI9kHT.
