1-4 Hours
Hike the Buffalo Point Campground Trails
Buffalo National River
The Buffalo Point Campground Trails give campers, day hikers, and leashed dogs a chance to stretch their legs between the campground and the historic cabin area at Buffalo Point. Hike through a mix of a pine and oak trees, a cedar glade, and past a sinkhole as you explore. Wildflowers dot the trail system throughout the spring and summer. Finally, the view from the Overlook Trail is one that you do not want to miss!
The Buffalo Point Campground Trail system is made up of three interconnecting trails: Overlook Trail, Campground Trail, and the Forest Trail. You can begin this trail system from the Indian Rockhouse Trailhead parking area, from A Loop, the Lower Contact Station, or Pavilion #1 (near the group sites). Connecting all trails and making a large loop provides about 3 miles of hiking. Leashed dogs are permited on this trail system. If you are looking for a short (1.2 miles, toundtrip) and relatively easy hike try the Overlook Trail. The view of the gravel bar at Buffalo Point is stunning from the Overlook Trail.
