Buffalo National River

The Buffalo National River is a free-flowing stream passing through towering picturesque bluffs, forests, and fields in North Central Arkansas in the Ozark Mountains. As America’s first National River, the Buffalo River is managed by the National Park Service and is widely viewed as the crown jewel of Arkansas’s natural heritage resources. The river’s natural and cultural features combined with scientific and recreational opportunities makes it an exceptional unit within the National Park Service and a natural and powerful dark dky resource.
