Buffalo National River

Buffalo National River was America’s first National River, protecting 135 miles of free-flowing water through the Ozark Mountains. No dams, no development—just limestone bluffs, hidden caves, and some of the best float camping in the country. This isn’t a famous park with gift shops and shuttles. It’s a working wilderness where you paddle your own way out. Rep the river that proved wild water is worth protecting, even when nobody’s heard of it.
