Buffalo National River Resumes Regular Operations

Bentonville Bike Festival 2026

You probably knew but it’s nice to see the official word.

(from media release)

With the enactment of a continuing resolution on Friday night, the staff at Buffalo National River resumed regular park operations over the weekend. Please visit www.nps.gov/BUFF for updated information about the park, including scheduled programs and accessibility. As a reminder, Lost Valley is closed until further notice for major improvements to the hiking trail, entrance road, and parking area. This work is scheduled to be completed in late February.
