Lake Maumelle

This segment of the OT runs from mile 212.2 (Lundsford Corner crossing of Hwy 300) to about mile 220, at the 3rd crossing of Hwy 300 in Natural Steps.

It is quite similar to the previous 10 miles as it continues around the northern edge of Lake Maumelle. 

In this segment there are more ups and down but its still relatively flat.  There is a so-called "vista point" at mile 215.2 but you really can't see much anymore due to growth of plants/trees.  There are much better vistas available by walking down to the lake along any of the little spur trails to the lake.

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).
