Briefly

The river access at Buffalo Point along the Buffalo National River will be closed through January for improvement work.

The river access and parking area, along with the nearby restroom, are closed. Other restrooms

and riverside gravel bars accessible from the campground are open.

The project involves building a new trail from the parking area to the Buffalo Point gravel bar, a new viewing platform and additional parking. The nearest access points are upstream at Dillards Ferry or

downstream at Rush.

The work will enhance opportunities for visitors with physical limitations and help the access withstand floods.
