North Maumee to the White River
Paddling conditions in the lower (easternmost) district of Buffalo National River are typically navigable year-round. The river is rainfall dependent though and needs consistent rainfall in the watershed to keep the water at a moderate level. For current floating conditions, please check with a concessioner, call the Buffalo Point Ranger Station at 870-449-4311, or check river gauges online at ar.water.usgs.gov/buffaloriver.
The map shown does not depict many details as far as the bluffs and topography are concerned.

The length of a paddle or float trip will vary greatly with changing river levels. Additionally, times largly depend on if you paddle or not and stop to swim, fish, or explore.
