Buffalo National River is located in the rugged Ozark
Mountains of Northwest Arkansas. Although much of the area is steep and
remote, the National Park Service is striving to make its facilities
accessible to all segments of the population. The purpose of this guide is to
provide physically challenged visitors information on accessible areas within
the park. Disabilities that do not require use of a wheelchair may allow
broader utilization of the park.
Individual campsites
within Buffalo National River are available on a
first-come/first-serve basis. Accessible sites are held open until all other
sites have been filled, but may be occupied by anyone after that time.
Reservations are accepted for group campsites (tent only) with a party of ten
or more persons and for use of picnic pavilions.
Golden Access Passport
The Golden Access
Passport, free to any U.S. citizen who is permanently
disabled, may be obtained in person at any contact station by showing proof
of medically determined permanent disability or eligibility for receiving
benefits under federal law. The passport provides free lifetime entrance to
federally administered land management areas and a fifty-percent discount on
user fees charged by these agencies.
The brochure
"Federal Recreation Passport Program" explains the benefits of
becoming a Golden Access holder. That brochure is available at Park
Headquarters and at all contact stations.
For More Information
Park Headquarters is
located on the first floor of the Federal Building in Harrison. The building and office
entrances are accessible, but public restrooms are not. Buffalo National
Rivers' TDD phone number for the hearing impaired is (870) 741-2884.
