Here in the heart of Buffalo River country, winter weather has settled in firmly. The vibrant colors of fall have long ago faded, and the Buffalo River is still running strong, but icy cold. We here at Buffalo River Outfitters are cozied in and making big plans for 2019. Our store front is still faithfully open, providing gear and apparel all year round.

The magic of the river goes on and on, and even so in Autumn. The green-blue waters of the Buffalo National River become slower, serene. It’s as if the spirit of the water itself knew to slow down and take in the breathtaking scenery along it’s own banks.

The cool air calls out the creatures that make this part of the Ozarks home. Otters, beavers, deer, birds and of course the majestic Elk all become more active in the fall air. The creatures lend even more beauty and memorable moments to this, America’s First National River.

Have you planned your fall getaway yet? Why not come enjoy one of our cabins in the Ozarks? Porch swings and rocking chairs in the fantastic Buffalo River Country are calling to you.

The Buffalo National River is beautiful every day of the year, and late summer is no exception. Summer is a time for heat, which can mean trouble to an unprepared river goer. This can cut a late summer float short at the very least and possibly threaten the health and welfare of any unprotected person. That’s why it is so important to know the conditions and come prepared.
