Scenic park along the Buffalo River.
Reviewed By raybyerley - Mandeville, United States
We took several hikes throughout the park over three to four days, some more strenuous thsn others. One day we started by Steel Creek boat launch went up the Buffalo river trail for about 4 miles and back along the old river trail ( a few pictures from that hike are attached, one looking diwn at the Steel creek launch and parking area). ~8 miles total that day. Another day we started at Compton trailhead, made a big loop on Sneeds creek trail by Henderson house then on the old river trail to Hemmed-in Hallow and back up a fairly difficult trail from California point to where we parked. This is a beautiful place and with leaves ???? changing color in mid-October even more so.

Although, I agree the road is not perfect I took my KIA Sportage (a crossover) and had no problems. It was fun! The key is to use 'common sense' because it is a 20 - 25 degree down and upgrade with potholes and some rocks to drive over. For instance, after rain, it could be very muddy, and I would not even go down this road, and a vehicle with low clearance could have challenges. Moreover, my top speed going down was around 16 mph (if that) and using lower gears kept me from using my breaks from overheating and glazing over. The worst part of going down to the falls was about 1/2 way the part (look for the Indian figure posted on the privet drive and no trespassing signs on the left side) this is where the road has been washed out by rain and perhaps the most challenging for beginner drivers. In any case ‘slow’ is fast and at the bottom of the road is a privet residence (I think) and some boy scout camp. It is a short hike to the falls (the signs will guide you) and be prepared to have muddy shoes after you enjoy the falls. The journey back up is using ‘common sense’ again go slow and be aware of obstacles. All this said just have some fun and be careful.

We hiked the short trail to the cabin. It is amazing the craftsmanship that went into building homes back then. The scenery is beautiful in the fall when leaves are changing. Take the time to continue the hike that leaves the homestead to the river overlook...breathtaking!
