Buffalo NR

 



America's First National River

Established in 1972, Buffalo National River flows freely for 135 miles and is one of the few remaining undammed rivers in the lower 48 states. Once you arrive, prepare to journey from running rapids to quiet pools while surrounded by massive bluffs as you cruise through the Ozark Mountains down to the White River.

We made a return visit to the middle Buffalo River area. It was a perfect day to go up and let Daisy have fun in the river.

We had a beautiful Fall Day to take in the unit. We decided to take in the middle Buffalo River area starting at the Visitor Center at Tyler Bend. This is the main Visitor center for the Unit. The Visitor center is small with a few exhibits. We took in a short movie there that helped explain the history of how this river was saved as a free-flowing river. After the Visitor Center we went down to the river and beach. Daisy had a great time frolicking in the river. This was a great time to visit as we almost had the river to ourselves. There are lots of great trails to take in and a float down the river is a must do. We spent a few hours here this visit but there are days of exploring to do. This park will go on our revisit list.
