Hike the Buffalo River Trail - Woolum to Tyler Bend

Buffalo National River

The Buffalo River Trail follows along the south side of the river from Woolum to Tyler Bend for a little more than 11 miles.

The Buffalo River Trail follows along the south side of the river from Woolum to Tyler Bend for a little more than 11 miles. The trail is moderate with gradual inclines and a few steep switchbacks. You will be rewarded with great views of the river from Dave Manes, Whisenant, and Peter Cave Bluffs. If river levels are low, you will not have any water in side drainages so you will need to pack in enough water for your hike.
