Buffalo River is a unique undammed river in the United States, running for 137 miles through the Ozark Mountains. At Buffalo National River, pets are welcome, but there are a number of limitations in place to protect park resources, wildlife, and other visitors. With the exception of the Tyler Bend Campground trails (Spring Hollow, Buck Ridge, and Rock Wall in the Middle District) and all three Buffalo Point Campground trails, all park trails are closed to pets (Forest Trail, Overlook Trail, and Campground Trail in the Lower District). All campgrounds, the river, and the gravel bars accept pets, however they must be kept under personal control at all times. You and your dog are allowed to float and enjoy the river.

The Ozark Highlands Trail (OHT) is one of the country's best long-distance hiking trails. It is well-known for its winter trekking chances when many other paths are impassable. It is located in the midst of the South. The best time to visit this trail is from the fall until the spring. The OHT, which has been featured in National Geographic Magazine, The Guardian, and Backpacker Magazine, offers 270 miles of hiking and trekking across some of the region's most difficult and spectacular terrain. The trail is marked with 2′′x6′′ white markers that are attached to a tree about eye level and positioned vertically. A 12′′ piece of carsonite post angled horizontally and affixed to a tree near eye level and facing the trail serves as a mile marker. The map locations can be found on the webpage.
