Public access and the Buffalo River Trail expanded at BNR
Harrison, Ark.— The National Park Service (NPS) has purchased a 64-acre tract of land within the legislated boundaries of Buffalo National River, making it possible for all people to access this tract of land within the park. This formerly private inholding was an important key to completing a segment of the Buffalo River Trail/Ozark Highland Trail. Located on the south side of the Buffalo River in Searcy County, between Rocky Creek and the South Maumee River Access, this property offers great views of the river and 64 more acres for visitors to explore, birdwatch, backcountry camp, and hunt. Visitors can now hike on the maintained trail all the way from Richland Creek to Dillards Ferry.
