Maumelle River

This segment runs from Hwy 9 to Hwy 10, a total of about 10 miles.  There is no public access between the two highways.  Some maps show that access to the trail is possible where the OT crosses Duffy Road at mile 195.1.   However, Duffy Road is gated and locked.

Heading east from the Hwy 9 trailhead, the OT winds around in the mountains and then makes a beeline for Pipeline Creek.  Just before reaching Pipeline Creek, the trail leaves the mountains and for the next 9 miles or so will be mostly flat except for some rock outcrops and a few ups and downs.
