What Is The Buffalo National River?
The Buffalo River was America’s first river to be declared a National River. The river itself, as well as many thousands of acres along it shores, attracts hikers, horseback trail riders, canoers., and campers from around the world. The river twists and winds through some 120 miles of Ozark Mountain country, of which about 60 miles are in the Twin Lakes Area. Much of the Buffalo runs through remote and rugged wilderness, including the Leatherwood Wilderness Area, which is in the Twin Lakes Area. The Buffalo National River is home to 64 species of clearwater fish and 1,500 plant species. It is truly a hiking, canoeing, and camping paradise.
