STOATS FLOATS: BUFFALO AND ELEVEN POINT RIVERS

This high-adventure, 6-day, 5-night expedition will have campers paddling two National Scenic Rivers: the Buffalo River, located in Northern Arkansas, and the Eleven Point River, located in southern Missouri. Campers will utilize National Park Service campgrounds while floating the Buffalo River and gravel bar camp while on the Eleven Point River. Both rivers are truly stunning in terms of natural beauty. Our first three days will be spent on the Buffalo River, the first river in America to be designated a National River. The upper sections are widely regarded as the best and most scenic floats in the entire Midwest because of the towering bluffs and waterfalls, including Hemmed-in-Hollow, the tallest from the Rockies to the Appalachians! Next, the trip heads north and back across the state line to the Eleven Point River, which was the first river in Missouri to be designated a National Wild and Scenic River. The Eleven Point is fed by more than 30 natural springs (including Greer Spring, the second largest in Missouri), which contribute significantly to the river’s clean waters and scenic beauty.
