The east section of the Buffalo River Trail begins at Woolum AR at the end of the Ozark Highlands Trail and goes east 15 miles to where the US Highway 65 bridge crosses the Buffalo River. For through-hikers, it can add a little extra to your hike and put you at a more accessible trailhead than Woolum. I have not been on the trail section so consider the map preliminary. It is based on existing...

NOTE: I'm working on allowing multiple pictures to be uploaded at once. I'm not sure when I'll get it all figured out, but I'll let you know.
