If you have time, camp at Lost Valley one night. The trail there is great, with several caves. One has a waterfall in it (Eden Falls) and another is like a gigantic overhang (Cobb). Steele Creek is a must, as it's on the river near Ponca. You may see elk there in the morning. It's the campground you see in all the Arkansas outdoor brochures. The multi colored bluffs are amazing.

I second this, love that area, plenty of hiking and waterfalls, along with the river. Steele Creek is one of my favorite areas on the Buffalo.

another good tip.

Also, be sure to ask people about Hemmed-in Hollow Falls. There's a place about 2/3 of the way between Ponca and Kyles where the river takes a right turn. You'll see canoes and kayaks stacked up there at the bank. That's where you get out for a 20 minute hike into Hemmed-in Hollow falls. It's breathtaking the first time you see it. Feels like you're in a South American jungle or Yosemite or something, 205 ft waterfall in a yellow limestone horseshoe canyon.
