This blog records various activities that my wife and I enjoy within one day's drive of our cabin on Lake Norfork in the Arkansas Ozarks. Of course, many of these activities take place right on the lake outside our window, so the earliest entry begins with a little factual information (culled from various web sites) about the lake and its history.

Hiking North Central Arkansas, Part 2
This page continues the series of hiking maps for North Central Arkansas that I began on my blog post of December 27, 2016. (Click to open that page.) My most recent Google Maps of hiking trails are listed below; clicking on the links above each one will open the map in a separate window.
To use these maps as you hike, you should download the map of the general area at home before hiking the trail. Here is how to do so. After doing that, you should click on the link for your hike to load its map. Do this some place where there is WiFi or cell service for your phone since cell service on the trails is spotty. After that the map should stay in your phone's memory as you hike. An Android phone (and possibly an Iphone) will then be able to show you your position along the trail as you hike. I have an Android Moto E and find that the MyMaps app from the Google Play Store works especially well for hiking.
I'll be adding additional trails to this page, so check back occasionally.
