Maumelle, city in Arkansas, United States
Maumelle is a city in Pulaski County located about five miles west of Little Rock along Interstate 40. The city features neat residential neighborhoods, clean streets, parks with green spaces, and two lakes suitable for fishing and walking trails.
The city was officially founded in 1985, but its history extends over 200 years back to early settlers who arrived from Alabama beginning in 1812. In the 1950s a large dam was built on the Big Maumelle River, creating Lake Maumelle, which now supplies drinking water to Little Rock and surrounding communities.
The city has a network of walking trails through parks and around the lakes, making it easy to explore. Hotels like the Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn Express provide simple and comfortable lodging for visitors looking to rest before exploring more of Arkansas.
The Big Dam Bridge is the second-longest pedestrian bridge in the country, and many visitors walk or bike across it to enjoy views of the river below. This popular route combines outdoor exercise with scenic enjoyment.
