Buffalo Point is a convenient, fun-filled destination for families and adventurists of all types. It's perched along the Buffalo National River, providing exciting river sports and hiking opportunities. The campground offers campsites with water, electricity and even a classic pay telephone. It's the only area in the park with a restaurant, open daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day and on weekends only from mid-April to Memorial Day Weekend and Labor Day Weekend to mid-October. The wild river is a gathering place for water activities. Many campers spend their days fishing, hiking, canoeing or kayaking, and evenings are ideal for gathering next to the fire to revamp for another great day out on the river. The Buffalo National River is one of the few free-flowing rivers remaining in the contiguous United States, running 135 miles without dams through the Arkansas Ozarks and into the White River. The region is surrounded by droves of lush hardwood trees and grassy open meadows. Two popular attractions within the Buffalo Point Area are the Indian Rockhouse Trail and the Rush Historic District. Rush was a zinc mining community until the zinc market collapsed and the settlement was deserted; tours about the town's history are available. Buffalo Point is the former Buffalo River State Park, developed in the 1930's as a project of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Blanchard Springs Caverns, an extraordinary living cave, is a one-hour drive from Buffalo Point.
