Canoeing
Canoeing the Buffalo River is definitely a must.
Ponca to Kyle’s Landing is 10.6 miles and is the most popular canoe trip and the most scenic with majestic bluffs along the way. This trip is home to Big Bluff and Hemmed-In Hollow, the highest waterfall at 250 feet between the Rockies and the Appalachians. This trip will take you 4 to 6 hours.
Steel Creek to Kyle’s Landing is 8 miles and is usually the launch site when Ponca is too low. You’ll still canoe past Big Bluff and Hemmed-In Hollow.
Pruitt to Hasty is 7 miles and is a scenic trip with nice bluffs. This trip will take you 4 to 5 hour

Sightseeing
Take a step back in time in Boxley Valley with a visit to the Grist Mill. From 1870 until the 1950s, this Grist Mil was handed down from generation to generation and was an important component of the community. While a working mill, the customers would have been Civil War Veterans, World War I and World War II Veterans.
The Mill is open for tours on weekends in October.
