Day 4 - Helena to Stuttgart

Oct. 9, 2026

Total Miles: 81.5

Elevation Gain: 1305 ft

Day 4 takes you west, crossing the White River before carrying you into the historic town of St. Charles, one of the day’s standout moments. It was here that a single cannon blast became known as the deadliest shot fired during the American Civil War—a sobering and powerful piece of history tucked along your route.

After St. Charles, you’ll roll onward into Stuttgart, widely known as the duck hunting and rice‑producing capital of the world. True to local tradition, we’ll be putting our own spin on things by hosting the Arkansas Graveler Duck Calling Competition—a loud, lighthearted showdown that adds a whole lot of laughter and Delta flavor to the evening. Expect festival vibes, local culture, and a memorable finish to another big day on the bike.
