Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trail Plan: Buffalo National River, Arkansas The Final Master Plan (nps 1975) for Buffalo River includes the following statements on trails: Hiking Hiking is another good way to see the Buffalo River. During times of low water in certain sections, it is the only way. Although the summers are hot and humid, hiking is becoming increasingly popular. Trails will be constructed to provide opportunities for hiking the entire length of the river and to link the various primitive camps and hostels that will also serve the river floater. Short trails to outstanding scenic features and loop trails near heavy-use areas will be developed. Trail vehicles will be prohibited because their use is incompatible with the tranquil setting that is being sought. The overnight hiker will be able to camp in certain areas where the boundaries extend some distance from the rivershore. Connecting links with existing or proposed trails in Ozark National Forest will be sought. Horseback riding Trails for both hikers and horseback riders will be developed in little-used areas, but in heavily used areas, these trails will be separate to avoid conflict. Most horse use is by private owners and stables outside the boundary. If additional facilities are not developed outside the boundaries, then horse concessions will be considered for the developed areas.* Bicycling A trail for non-motorized bicycling is proposed along the river in the Tyler Bend area. Other possibilities exist in Boxley valley and on the abandoned railroad grade between Gilbert and Brush Creek depending on the response to the Tyler Bend Trail.
