Buffalo National River
Buffalo River is America's first National River and one of the last un-dammed rivers in the United States. The National River boasts many outdoor activities including canoeing, camping, hiking, horseback riding, and fishing. In addition to camping, small groups can rent either rustic or modern cabins for their enjoyment. World-class wildlife viewing is also possible along the Buffalo River, including trumpeter swans and elk.
Not only does the Buffalo National River excel for outdoor recreation, but cultural resources abound as well. Interpretive opportunities include historic buildings, sites, and even several historic districts highlighting past farming and mining communities. The Park Service, in conjunction with the State Highway and Transportation Department, Game and Fish Commission, National Wild Turkey Foundation, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, plans to restore habitat and reintroduce native species.
