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, featuring pristine springs, caves, and waterfalls. This expedition is only offered to our older, more experienced campers with previous paddling experience as the upper section of the Buffalo is one of the most technical sections that can be floated in the entire Midwest.
