Ouachita Trail (section 10) mile 202 to 212.2 (multiple hikes)

This segment of  OT section 10 runs from the Hwy 10 crossing to Hwy 300 at Lundsford Corner, for a distance is about 10 miles. 

The trail emerges from section 9 onto Hwy 300  on the south end of the bridge over Lake Maumelle.   It continues across the bridge and then re-enters the forest on the righ (heading north).

After reentering the forest, it winds around hillsides, crosses Hwy 113 twice and then runs for an (approx.) 7 mile stretch to the first crossing of Hwy 300, followed by an additional ~ 1 mile to the 2nd crossing of Hwy 300 at Lundsford Corner. The best reference, as usual, is Tim Ernst's Ouachita Trail Guide, which provides almost step-by-step guidance!  

Compared to the OT further west, this section is relatively flat and is entirely a 'walk in the forest', with very few views.   There are some nice views of Lake Maumelle from several 'unofficial' spur trails that drop down to the lakeside.   -jc
