The
White Buffalo Resort
is a unique place in the heart of the Ozarks. Our 3/4 mile of
White River frontage at the mouth of the Buffalo River provides the
most scenic landscapes imaginable and the best diversified fishing on
the river. Our rural park like setting invites you to relax and
enjoy the best of the Ozarks. The air is clear and the stars are
bright and too numerous to count. Watchable wildlife abounds,
from the many species of birds that live in or migrate through Arkansas
to deer, bobcat, mink and beaver along the rivers. The Bald Eagles,
Great Blue Herons and Kingfishers are among the best fishermen on the
rivers; it's fun to watch them catch their dinner.

The
White Buffalo Resort is located in
North Central Arkansas, just south of Mountain Home, on state
road 126 S in the small community of Buffalo City.
|
While there were
almost 2,000 people here at the turn of the century, the resort
and a half dozen houses are all that remain today. Our rural location
at the confluence of the White and Buffalo Rivers affords the best of
both worlds: the quiet serenity of the mountains and rivers, yet
close to the conveniences of Mountain Home and nearby attractions.
The majestic 600' bluffs, abundant wildlife and spectacular sunsets
are a bonus!
Experience
world-famous trout fishing on the White River with a guided
float trip down the river. Our licensed, friendly guides are
expert fishermen and familiar with the river. You will be transported
down river in a traditional, flat-bottomed jonboat while your
guide shows you how to fish the best areas of the White River,
sharing some entertaining fish stories and local history along
the way. If you like, your guide will cook your morning
catch, with all the fixings, over a riverbank campfire. Create
your own fish tales to tell the folks back home. This
is an adventure you won't want to miss!

The White Buffalo
Resort has some of the prettiest and most productive fishing in the
area. Fly fishers love wading in our crystal clear waters to fish the
shoals and gravel bars. A long rock jetty, reaching to the mouth
of the Buffalo River, is here at our point. Downstream from here are
some long gravel bars and islands to fish from. Just a mile upriver,
accessible by river taxi, is Buffalo Shoals -- one of the longest rock
shoals on the White River. The serene and peaceful setting
contributes to the wonderful fishing you'll experience at Buffalo Shoals
whether fishing on your own or with one of our knowledgeable guides.
Fish for our
famous rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout on the White River or for
smallmouth bass on the Buffalo River from one of our 20' jonboats with
motor. Or try a canoe float for miles of cool water and beautiful
scenery, fishing and picnicking along the way.
Bring
a camera to capture the special highlights of your trip. Hike to the
top of our 660' limestone bluffs for miles-wide views of both the White
