Buffalo River - Arkansas - Great Place


Willys says come to Arkansas and check out places like Dug Hollow on the Buffalo National River looks to be a really nice place.
The Buffalo River is one of Willy's favorite places but Willy ain't seen much of the River. Maybe this next year Willy will get the chance to do more exploring and check out places like this.
Here is more info on the Buffalo River:
The nation�s first federally protected stream (1972), the Buffalo River flows roughly 150 miles and includes nearly 95,000 acres of public land along its corridor. The stream descends nearly 2,000 feet through layers of sandstone, limestone, and chert. One immediately obvious result is its many bluffs -- the highest in all the Ozark Mountains. Hidden away, ready for discovery, are other geologic marvels -- springs, caves, waterfalls, natural bridges, and box-like canyons, where trails are abundant.

It is a very nice river. We have floated it twice from St. Joe to Gilbert. We camped at Gilbert, but at the time it was nothing more than primitive camping. But the river was very nice, and deep, with lots of pretty cliffs and caves along the way.
