The River Dart is the source of much folklore on Dartmoor, where it is traditionally respected and feared - the waters have a tendency to rise without notice following heavy rainfall on the moors above, adding to the dangers of its rapids and powerful currents. This gave rise to the couplet: "River of Dart, Oh River of Dart! Every year thou claimest a heart." The 1951 non-fiction book The River Dart by Ruth Manning-Sanders centres on the river and its history. Alice Oswald, English poet born 1966, wrote the 48 page poem entitled, "Dart." The poem's voice is that of the River Dart, which Oswald adapted from three years of recorded conversations and research with people who inhabit the communities along the river. The Weaver Twins from Stoke Gabriel wrote a song entitled, "Dart". The music video was filmed along the river and has been featured on Radio Caroline television.
