Ouachita Trail section 10

Section 10 of the Ouachita Trail - mile 202-222.5 (Pinnacle Mountain State Park).  This section is outside of the Ouachita National Forest, running mostly around Lake Maumelle and then on PMSP land.   Section 10 includes the following features:

• eastern terminus of the OT
  
• the lowest point on the trail
  
• minimal change in altitude (lots of flat trail)
  
• several stretches on state highway shoulder
  
• several stretches of trail on historical raised railroad bed
  
• an antique highway bridge
  
• plenty of water (Lake Maumelle, several reliable creeks, several ponds) 
  

Camping is restricted to designated sites.   Because it is close to Little Rock, parts of section 10 get quite a bit of dayhiker and trail runner use.  There are several convenient access points for day hikes.

As always, the definitive guide to the OT is the Ouachita Trail Guide by Tim Ernst.  

Hikes in section 10 of the Ouachita Trail are grouped into the 3 sections listed below.  Each of the three sections (see below) contain multiple hikes, some with individual hike descriptions and some with photos-only.
