The river is a great place for an excursion with the entire family. Take your kids and dog down to the river for a weekend day trip, but don’t forget to bring your leash! While some parts of the Buffalo National River Park that the river flows through are off limits to pets to protect the wildlife, Forest Trail, Overlook Trail, and Campground Trail are all woofderful hikes you can take your pup on. You can even spend the night at a campground if you’re looking to make an overnight trip of it.
