Float trips on the Upper Buffalo River are on hold until the area receives enough rainfall to bring the river to a floatable level. In the meantime you can learn more about floating the Buffalo National River here and be sure to reserve your canoe or kayak for future dates by clicking “book now” and selecting “boat rentals”.
GAUGE KEY:
Black = Very Low / Blue = Low / Green = Moderate / Yellow = High / Red = Flood Stage
Each gauge is designed to reflect a specific river section’s unique gradient, so color
segments will differ in length between gauges. River levels update @ every 5 minutes.
