We hiked Buffalo River State Park on July 12th, 2023.
Our hike began by the swimming pond that was depleted of water. The view was a bit surreal.
We followed the trail to the right side of the swimming pond to take in views of Buffalo River from the nearby bridge.
We backtracked a bit and decided to follow the River View Trail which was to the left of the swimming pond.
The trail followed the winding river offering beautiful views.
We continued on the trail. Wide open prairie views began to appear.
The next few photos are my favorite views of the Buffalo River.
We said goodbye to the river and began to hike the Wide Sky Trail.
Different shades of purple wildflowers were growing in the prairie along the trail.
We were happy it was a cool summer day as this prairie hike could be rather toasty in the hot sun.
We began our hike back to our starting point on the Old Grade Trail.
Our hiking adventure was 2.1 miles.
