Kudos goes out to Boy Scout troop 136 of Bentonville, Arkansas for building this nice trail. The trail itself is about 2 miles long. During several portions of this trail there are some very scenic overlooks. Stop for a minute to take in some of the views, because those are the real treasures in this hunt. Right before you get to the location of the cache, there will be a bench off to the right. This is a good spot to sit and look out over the lake. Also, the portion of the trail just past the cache has some really nice blufflines. Please note that this trail crosses over the highway in two spots, so please be cautious. A map and description of this trail can be found in Tim Ernst's "Arkansas Hiking Trails" book.
During the winter season, the gate at the front of the overlook area will be closed. It is ok for you to park down by this gate and hike up the road a short ways to the trailhead. Note that the bathroom facilities will be out of order during this time, though.
Please take the time to log this cache online, even if it is to post a Did Not Find. This helps me to determine when the cache needs maintenance, etc. I also get enjoyment reading about other people's experiences hunting for the cache.
