Buffalo Outdoor Center

Get away to the beautiful middle of nowhere:  Buffalo Outdoor Center in Ponca, Arkansas.  

We've been helping guests discover the Buffalo National River headwaters area since 1976.  Our resort features handcrafted log cabins and river adventures ideal for family vacations, romantic escapes, honeymoons, and special group events such as reunions and outdoor weddings.  Classic cabins start at $109+tax/night, while mountain-top cabins featuring special amenities begin at $209+tax/night.  For your convenience, each cabin rate is inclusive of all guests up to the number of people the cabin is designed to accommodate.  One rate takes care of everyone!  Also, pets are welcome in our cabins for a rate of $20+tax per night, per pet.

Our beautiful RiverWind Lodge is the perfect affordable, mountain-top setting for family reunions, outdoor weddings, and corporate retreats.  The lodge accommodates up to 24 guests and was designed with special features such as a 6-person outdoor hot tub, a campfire pavilion, and a kitchen with double appliances.  Several cabins are also located within walking distance of the lodge should you need additional lodging space.  (Please note that RiverWind Lodge is the only BOC facilitiy that does not permit pets.)

We're the river's most trusted outfitter, so we can help you explore the finest section for Buffalo River canoeing and hiking scenery.  Canoe rental is available March through June, as well as vehicle shuttles.  Hiking is outstanding year 'round and a free activity within the national park.  We also provide shuttle service for hikers and backpackers.  You can also enjoy hot air ballooning, horseback riding, and shopping adventures to nearby Eureka Springs and Branson, MO at our resort.

Come see why folks like National Geographic, Backpacker Magazine, Southern Living, and other well-known national media turn to BOC for quality Buffalo National River adventures.  We'd love to help you plan your escape to mid-America's finest adventure destination!
