The Buffalo River Trail, part of the Ozark Highlands Trail, follows the south side of the Buffalo National River through some of the most scenic terrain in the Ozarks. It winds past towering bluffs and historic homesteads, with stretches that feel remote despite being well-maintained. This section is a fantastic blend of beautiful river views and the surrounding forest. The Buffalo River spans 135 miles, winding through the Ozarks, and as America's first National River, it's protected for its wild beauty and is an outdoor haven for kayakers, hikers and campers.
