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.

I agree with EDD it would be terrible to have to schedule in advance float trip to the Buffalo - please please do not do this to us -

I live in Fayetteville and have been canoeing the Buffalo since 1969. We hear rumors about NPS making individual boat owner having to register our float trips weeks, months or even years in advance. PLEASE don't do that!!! That would ruin the river we love to float when the time, weather and water allows. We know it is about money and limiting the number of floaters on the river. How about a yearly fee or tag for our individual boats? That away we pay for the rights to float but we can float when the water,time and weather is right. Help save our river for the locals that have love and used it all our lives, Please!!!!
