re: Bufflalo River Trip

I've been 14 times since I was a teenager. For me, late May, early June is the best time, as the water is at a good level and it's hot enough for swimming and rock jumping, while still cool enough at night for a fire. My usual trip is from Mt. Hersey to Gilbert and we take 3 days to do the 24 miles or so, camping on shoals. We use Gilbert General Store (Buffalo Camping & Canoeing) for canoe rentals and shuttling. It's one of my favorite places.
