More Information
Details: Canoeists paddling the Buffalo find themselves on what may well be the most scenic river in the eastern United States. From its headwaters in the Boston Mountains to its confluence with the White River, the Buffalo's 132 miles are managed by the National Park Service as a National River. Flowing through the Arkansas Ozarks, the river has carved a path out of an ancient seabed, leaving bluffs of sandstone, limestone, and dolomite towering as high as 440 feet above the water. Quiet, languid pools stand between runs of swifter water, often disguising the river's drop of over 2,000 feet during its long journey. You'll see glens that trap noon shadows and hollows hiding curtains of ferns fed by secret waterfalls. While the Buffalo is one of the cleanest rivers in America, you should always purify its water before drinking.
