Buffalo National River

America's first national river runs wild and clear through towering Ozark bluffs — a bucket-list float for paddlers and a gorgeous day trip from the resort.

Canoe or kayak the calm stretches, hike up to an overlook, or swim in a gravel-bar pool. Outfitters along the river handle boats and shuttles.
