Visit Lake Maumelle!

One can get a view of the lake via various means, including trails that you can use.

What makes this lake stand out is that it is Central Arkansas' main water supply. Because of this, the lake is regulated to protect the waters. No swimming is allowed in the lake since it is a water supply but canoeing and kayaking from designated launching points is allowed and fishing too. The lake is well-known for having sailing regattas too. You can stay updated on lake regulations via the Central Arkansas Water site.  Information about boating access points at the lake can be found here. 

Nearby sites to enjoy include Pinnacle Mountain State Park. You can hike to the top of Pinnacle Mountain here for a stellar view or get some more water time in by paddling the Little Maumelle River Water Trail.
