Trails on the West Side - Unique Experience!
Great Trails are on the West Side of the Buffalo River!
The terrain on the West side of the river is rugged and challenging. The first challenge is getting across the river! A great way to check the river levels is through our friends and upstream neighbors at the Buffalo Outdoor Center. Check the river levels on their site and if the river is below the Normal floating level (low yellow or even better red), then it is much easier to wade across the river with your bike and enjoy the adventure on the other side!
Knowing the only way out is back across the river adds to the thrill of the unique experience.

Outdoor Classrooms are the Best!
Trails are such a vital part of the outdoor activities that Scouting promotes. Those activities are key to how we positively develop youth into leaders and help shape their character. Camp Orr is the only BSA Camp in the USA located inside of a National Park. The Camp is owned by the Westark Area Council and we encourage outdoor enthusiasts from mountain bikers to hikers to horseback riders to take advantage of the beautiful & scenic trails on Camp Orr! However, quality trails do require upkeep and maintenance. Your gift can help us keep reaching young people with the beauty of Camp Orr and the outdoors!
