White River Float and Campout Weekend

Lets meet up on the river for a few days of outdoors adventure! Last weekend before Memorial Day and summer heat! On the White River in north Central Arkansas, just 20 minutes south of Mountain Home. Its an easy 4 hour drive from Memphis. Lotta details below, so please read and ask questions in discussion below.

Our base will be at White Buffalo Resort and Campground (**even if you end up staying somewhere else**)

Friday - travel up and secure lodging or campsite, meetup at White Buffalo to get specifics on Saturdays float plan. They have tent camping, RV sites, and cabins, and also rent kayaks/canoes and offer shuttle service.

Participants are responsible for arranging their own kayak/canoe rentals and shuttles. We may have enough folks/vehicles to shuttle ourselves, we can discuss below. Paid shuttle costs are low though.

I have a tent site with water/electric reserved, directly on the river. If anyone wants to share let me know max 6 people.

Other great cabins and kayak rentals/shuttle can be found at Riley's just 1/2 mile away. (NO tents or RV's at Riley's).

There are also plenty of hotels/motels and air B'n'B options in Mountain Home.

Saturday 10:00AM: Float the White River 8 miles. We'll put in upstream at Cotter or Rim Shoals access, and float back to White Buffalo Resort. Depending on water levels, normally takes 4-5 hours. We'll stop about 1/2 way and have lunch on the river so bring along food and drink on the float. Its an easy float, water is crystal clear (and cold), great scenery.

Saturday night: we will group up either at the White Buffalo campsites for cookout/campfire, or maybe a restaurant in Mountain Home for a social evening. Lets discuss below on what the group wants to do.

Sunday morning 8-9 AM: Optional could do same float as Saturday, or go downstream from Buffalo City a shorter float say 5 miles. That would wrap us up mid afternoon for those who need to get back to Memphis earlier Sunday.
