Off To The Buffalo River This Weekend

Filed Under Buffalo River Float | 54 Comments

????????We’ll be making our annual Memorial Day weekend pilgrimage to the Buffalo River this coming weekend! The weather has finally decided to cooperate in recent days. We’ve had no rain and the temps have jumped up into the mid to upper 80’s. Hopefully the weather will hold out for the weekend.

We plan to stay in the Wollum area which is likely to be a bit crowded. This is a popular time of year to visit and float the Buffalo. Reports from others that were floating this past weekend leads me to believe that the water will be in pretty good shape, barring any heavy rains in the next few days.

I’ll add some pics when I get back home from the trip. Check back in about a week!

Leaf Colors In The Ozarks And Buffalo River Area

My intent was to get away today and head for the Buffalo River to enjoy the beauty of the fall color show that is starting to happen there! Yep, according to Tim Ernst, the leaves are changing colors and they’re changing in a hurry. My suggestion; do whatever it takes to get out of the house and visit the Buffalo River area for some of the most beautiful fall foliage you will probably ever see! If you see some amateur out there, wildly snapping pictures of anything and everything…it may very well be me!

Fall is an absolute splendid time of year along the Buffalo River or pretty much anywhere in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas. If you’ve never had a chance to visit the Ozarks during the fall season, I would highly encourage it! The air is cool and crisp and the colors of the leaves changing are gorgeous! Read more

Here is a great video from an place that is in the Buffalo National River area. It’s called “Lost Valley” and it is truly a spectacular place. It’s been several years since I’ve been there, but I remember it well. The person in the video is Chuck Dovish, (this guy has the job I’d like to have!) This is from a “Traveling Arkansas” segment that he did. If you make it to the Buffalo River, you should take time to visit Lost Valley. Read more

There are numerous places to camp along the Buffalo River. The biggest question…are you opposed to camping in a “primitive” campground, or do you prefer something

a little more on the comfortable side?

Smallmouth Bass Fishing Buffalo River Arkansas

Posted on August 14, 2007
Filed Under Buffalo River Videos, Fishing The Buffalo River | 21 Comments

Smallmouth bass fishing on the Buffalo can be a ton of fun! When we get to float, we I spend probably half my time fishing and half paddling, (depending on how energetic my wife feels ) You can catch perch all day long, but the smallmouths can be a bit more of a challenge. I’ve personally had good luck fishing in the shoals where the current is a little stronger, but I’ve caught smallmouth all along the river. Read more

It’s one thing to take off on your next hiking or camping trip and forget your Grey Poupon. It’s quite another to be stuck somewhere without clean drinking water! Read more

Horseback Trail Distances For Various Rides

Filed Under Horseback Riding Around The Buffalo River | 3 Comments

I’m not a horseback rider myself, but I know it’s a very popular pastime in the Buffalo River area. In fact, the last few years we’ve spent our Memorial Day floating and camping out of the Wollum area and there is a huge horse camp that sets up that weekend in the field at Wollum. I’m not sure which trails they use, but I see many of them cross the river at Wollum throughout the day. Read more

I wanted to create a couple of posts for those of you that might be interested in the float distances along the river. I’ll be using my trusty Buffalo National River West Trail, map which provides not only mileages, but topographic details and special points of interest. If you’re the type that enjoys knowing exactly where you’re at when you’re floating, hiking, camping or horseback riding, you’ll want to invest in these maps! They’re waterproof and tearproof so they’re very durable when you’re out and about. Read more

Filed Under Buffalo River Float | 8 Comments

The Buffalo is a great river for floating pretty much year round. But…we’re hitting a period of the summer when the river levels drop and floating on the Buffalo becomes more work than fun! Our summer started out very wet, but I believe the “dog days” of summer have finally arrived. Read more
