Buffalo River
12 miles away
This run was the first run I had ever done in a Kayak. I was a little scetchy at first but later realized that a kayak is 100% more safe than a canoe and quite a bit more versitile as well. By the end of the run I was trying to find the fastest spots and hiking the better rapids more than once to hit again. Now with more rivers and expierience under my paddle. I would still do this run again with friends for a enjoyable float with a few moderate rapids that can be challenging for the unprepared. If you plan to take those not real comfortable in a kayak on a river, this would be a great start for them. Not for seeking heavy whitewater. Scenery is A+++, its reputation speaks for itself. If those seeking a little more rapids and a little faster gradient start at Boxley instead of Ponca to plan your Buffalo trip....

The trail below the natural bridge is covered in dead trees due to the winter ice storm. The trailhead down to the bridge has been cleared. Memorial Day weekend 2009.

Other than that, the trail offers sandstone caves, wet weather waterfall, small stream, and one of the largest natural bridges in the country. You actually walk across the bridge and follow the trail underneath for a panoramic view of the bridge. Very easy hike!...

Some of my extended family and I went out over the weekend of 1/17/2009 for a birthday get-away for a nephew. We stayed in an awesome cabin. Here is one picture we took while hiking the Alum Cove Trail. (error while uploading picture)...
