One of the few remaining un-dammed rivers in the United States, and its first National River, the Buffalo National River offers some of the best paddling you can experience in the region. This 10.7 route from Ponca to Kyle’s Landing is arguably the most popular on the Buffalo River with its stunning views and beginner-friendly flow. This float typically lasts 4-6 hours, depending on the individual and river level. Guests will have the opportunity enjoy a 37 North guided hike from the river to Hemmed-In-Hollow
