Buffalo National River Canoe Trip That'll Transport You Into the Arkansas American Wild
The beautiful Buffalo River passes through the Ozark Mountains and traverses alongside giant bluffs as it runs through quiet pools and tumbling rapids on its way to the White River. Once you reach the confluence, make sure to dip a toe to feel the distinction between the typically cooler White River and the warmer Buffalo waters. This trip can be as short as an afternoon paddle or as long as a multiday journey on the Buffalo Riverβs 153 miles β either way, youβll want to keep your fishing gear on hand for the riverβs renowned smallmouth bass fishing.BestΒ Multi DayΒ CanoeingΒ Gear Packing Checklist | Top Essential Things to Bring
