Get a Trail Use Permit
The DRHT is currently a private trail, meaning that you must have a valid permit in order to use the trail. Carry your permit with you on the trail at all times! Apply for a Permit

Please Note:
Out of respect for the congregation of Little Ark Baptist Church, trail users are not currently authorized to use the portion of the trail property that passes adjacent to Little Ark Baptist Church's cemetery.
