One of the most-heard questions that we get this time of year is: how are the river levels? Perhaps a close second is: what does that mean? And these are great questions! This is the time of year where the river levels can be a little harder to decipher, and we are more than happy to help you better understand the Buffalo River water levels in the hazy, lazy days of summer. So much fun is still to be found on the jewel-green water of America’s First National river.

Hello, joyful river-goers!

Summer 2020 is here and in full swing, and we are so excited to get out and on the Buffalo with you this year. Today is the day - the park has officially opened the campgrounds and gravel bars along the Buffalo National River for overnight use. This means camping is in, which means overnight trips are back! Start planning your multi-day river float today by exploring our Multi-Day float page or by calling our enthusiastic, qualified staff at 870-439-2200. Make your reservations soon!

Every season is peak season when it comes to exploring, hiking, and taking in breathtaking views.The Holidays are upon us and with them come feasts and a constant supply of goodies, snacks, and desserts. Hike off those Christmas Calories and start your tour of this beautiful slice of the Ozarks. Get out, get active, and hit those step goals with these three awesome hikes. 

Ongoing rain in Buffalo River Country has kept the river levels up and beautiful for the past few weeks. The air is finally a little bit nippy, and conditions are ripening for perfect fall color viewing trips. The best time for finding the trees in the height of this display is late October to November, so it’s coming right up! Don’t wait to plan your fall trip - the leaves fall quickly!
