This 37-mile trail follows the Buffalo National River in Arkansas, America’s first National River and one of the few remaining undammed rivers in the United States. The trail travels from Boxley Valley to Woollum where it joins the Ozark Highlands Trail. It follows the stunning and rugged landscape on the southern side of the river, passing epic views from cliffs, historical features including homestead sites and Civil War-era mining and logging sites, as well as a multitude of native wildlife. This is another great Southern trail to hike in the spring and fall.
