As attractive as the trails are, there is one place that seems to be the center of attention, America’s first National River: the Buffalo.
This beauty begins its trek from a trickle in the western hills of Newton County and winds nearly 150 miles northward through the valleys of the Ozarks until it merges with the White River in Baxter County. The clear, pristine waters of the Buffalo National River are a priceless resource and camping along the Buffalo is a magnet that attracts people year after year.

For those who love to float, whether in canoe or kayak, the water is irresistible and spring rains provide a level that give experienced paddlers a memorable trip.
As the water levels drop, Buffalo National River becomes a mecca for floaters that desire a more leisurely view of the majestic bluffs and waterfalls along the route.

Whether you like to fish for trout or take a swim in the pristine waters of the river, there are plenty of deeper holes even in the dry summer to please, too!
Perfectly perfect post! Thank you for sharing your love for Arkansas.
