Discover the Scenic Confluence of the White & Buffalo Rivers

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car and you're already in Buffalo National River, head towards Highway 7. From the main park entrance, drive south on Highway 7 for about 6 miles until you reach the junction with Highway 14. Turn left onto Highway 14 and follow it for approximately 4 miles. Look for signs directing you to the Buffalo River and continue driving until you reach the town of Buffalo City. The confluence of the White and Buffalo Rivers is located at coordinates 36.1690654, -92.4297152, which is a little further down on River Road. There is no entrance fee to access the rivers, but be aware of parking regulations in the area.

• Public Transportation

  Public transportation options are limited in this area. If you're without a car, consider using a taxi or rideshare service from nearby towns. The nearest major town is Harrison, Arkansas, which is about 40 miles away. From Harrison, you can hire a taxi to Buffalo City. Once you arrive in Buffalo City, you may need to walk or use a bicycle to reach the confluence, as public transport does not operate in this remote area. Always check for local taxi services in advance.

• Biking/Walking

  For those who prefer a more active approach, biking or walking is a great way to reach the confluence if you're staying nearby. From the Buffalo National River park trails, navigate towards the Buffalo River and follow the trail markers leading toward Buffalo City. Depending on your starting point, this could take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours on foot. Ensure you have proper gear for hiking and that you're aware of the weather conditions, as the terrain can vary.
