Buffalo Outdoor Center

Current Buffalo River Levels

03/16/24 We are currently floating from Ponca to Kyles Landing! You can learn more about floating the Buffalo National River here and be sure to reserve your canoe or kayak for spring in advance by clicking “book now” and selecting “boat rentals”.

GAUGE KEY:
Black = Very Low  / Blue = Low / Green = Moderate / Yellow = High / Red = Flood Stage

Each gauge is designed to reflect a specific river section’s unique gradient, so color
segments will differ in length between gauges.  River levels update @ every 5 minutes.
(Water levels based on USGS data)

FLOAT THE ECLIPSE!  We are currently accepting reservations for 3-day canoe or kayak rentals for the April 8th total solar eclipse!  Eclipse floaters will launch on Sunday, April 7th and take out on Tuesday, April 9th.  Call us now at 870-861-5514 for details and to book your boat rental for this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Due to expected traffic and congestion we will not be offering shuttle services to private boaters on April 8th 2024.
