- Our 2017 kayak trip down the Buffalo River. Launched at Ponca, Arkansas and ended at Dillards Ferry, about 94 miles. Was my first river trip in my Old Town Loon 126. Challenging but enjoyable trip.

Nice video Amigo! Looks you all had a great time, even though it was cut short. I've very envious!!! Atb, Simon.
It was definitely an adventure for sure. I may have to go back next year, just so I can have the satisfaction of kayaking the whole thing :) Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Amen brother it's all about the friends the memories and the river. I always say wow wonder what the rich people are doing today cause they cant beat this 👌
I can clearly see that you "get it"! 😁 Thanks for checking out the video!
wow you did an amazing job on the video. I absolutely loved it. very well put together. hope mine comes out at least half as good. super glad you got the chance to go and had a good time
You are too kind, sir. I have no doubt your video will be awesome, and I can't wait to see it! I am honored to have shared this adventure with you guys.
I have many Alps products, they are amazing for the price point. my chaos 2 has had a decade of yearly trips down the buffalo as well as backpacking through Yellowstone and Glacier NP. still strong still water proof
Couldn't agree more. I am happy with everything I have ever gotten from them. Thanks for watching!
Good video. Memorable trip I'm sure. Thanks
Thank you. It was a great adventure for sure. I appreciate you watching!
Great video! Thank you for posting this! We are kayaking on the buffalo river this coming weekend and I was curious what it was like! Good to have a little idea beforehand. :)
+amerrylife Thank you. The river condition is very weather dependent. I would say keep a close eye on the forecast and the Buffalo Outdoor Center website has a good section on the water levels, updated daily. In smooth conditions it is a beautiful sight. I hope you get to enjoy it!! Thanks for watching :)
Hey bearded burton 👍I ran Into this vid just watching kayak trips good to see ya and hear your awesome music. Great video of an awesome trip my friends 👌
Wow! What a great video. It was great meeting you, glad you had the chance to join the group for this trip. Until next time...
buckskin88 Thank you, that is nice of you to say. Also, thanks for saving my butt out there on the river. It was an awesome adventure 😀
Good Video, looks like a lot of fun. That River is on my buket list. Thanks for the video, River Jumper out.
+River Jumper I hope you get a chance to get on it some day. It is definitely worth it. Thanks for watching!
looks like an awesome river. would love to paddle it. To bad it was cut short but you can't always paddle thru everything. Great job for your first moving water. That old town will take care if you for sure.
+the wonderingelectrician It definitely is a cool river. All of the challenges made for a very memorable adventure. Thanks for watching, take care!
Very Awesome video!!!! I cant wait till spring, Im kayaking a couple new and old places. This vid really inspired me to wanna go kayaking!!!!
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you find adventure this spring 😎
Looks like a fun trip. Water got pretty high after yall left.
It was a cool adventure. I did hear about the conditions the week after we were there. Also heard of the one fatality. It sounded pretty crazy. Thanks for watching, take care!!
Really enjoyed your video! I left Ponca early Tuesday the 9th and had a great time although the water had receded somewhat. You took on quite a challenge for your first river run!!!
+Jeffloats! I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching! I was amazed at how quickly that river can come up and then recede back down. It was an unforgettable adventure for sure. Take care!
Great Video! You got some very beautiful shots co!! Even in a down pour, you can't break Travis smile LOL
Too bad you had to cut the trip short..but better safe then sorry, and probably still some great memories made!
I loved your ending thoughts!
Thanks, Lee, for the kind words. You are so right about Travis...pretty hard to get that guy down :) It was an unforgettable adventure for sure. Thanks for watching. Take care!
Would love to kayak this river, I live in Ontario so it would be a long trip, thanks for posting!
Yeah, I suppose that would be quit a trip, haha. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care.
Very nice man. That looked amazing out there! Getting anxious for this years canoe/kayak season!
Edgewood Outdoors Thanks. It is an amazing spot. I'm itching to get out this year. Have a short trip on the Kansas River planned for this weekend, as long as the weather holds. We will be back on the Buffalo in a couple months. Thanks for watching. Take care!
I saw your link on the Outdoor UA-cam Creators group. That is a beautiful landscape to be paddling through, I imagine there were some extra water falls given the rain. Glad you brought a tent that was up for the job, and that you all were able to move your camp before the flood! Glad I found you here, you have a new subscriber in Utah :)

It is a very beautiful area. It was a wild adventure. I have just recently decided I am going back to try it again this year. I really want to do the whole 125 miles. Hope to get some more and better video this time. Stay tuned to the channel, I have plans to do some trip planning videos as it gets closer. Thanks for watching and subscribing! I appreciate it.
Good video...I plan on trying to paddle it this june.
+Roy Mandell Thank you, I appreciate you watching! Good luck and hope you have a great time. Hopefully the spring storms are done when you hit the water. They are getting hammered again this weekend. Multiple rescue efforts going on.
Oh wow!..I be keeping an eye on the weather before set a date in stone....thanks for sharing that information.
+Roy Mandell You might what to follow the "Buffalo National River" Facebook page. That is where I saw the info about the river condition and rescues going on.
I will do that ...thanks!
Cool video. I love kayaking. Beautiful area you were in. New sub. Thanks for sharing.
It is an awesome place. I am currently out on the Buffalo trying to get the whole river this time. Stay tuned for the video. Take care and thanks for watching!
Outdoor Wanderer awesome. I can’t wait to get my kayak out.
Great vid! Planning a Buffalo River tri in the spring. Always need more tunes, really liked that Johnathan Burton? Couldn't find anything on him. Could you point a fellow paddler in the right direction?
Glad to hear you are planning a trip. It is definitely worth it to experience it first hand. Jonathan is The Bearded Burton channel on UA-cam. He has several of his songs on his channel. We were at a meet up when he gave me a CD with some of his songs. I'm not sure if he has them to sell or not. Thanks for watching and the kind comment. Hope you have a blast on your trip!
Whats the secret to sleeping on those rocks? Enjoyed the video
Really just making sure there aren't any big ones sticking up and then sleeping on an inflatable pad, and you dont even notice them. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Glad you were able to ride the storm out. I came over from The Last Grownup's channel and am trying to support small outdoor type channels. I watched and 'liked your video and subscribed to your channel and would love to have you on board as a subscriber at my channel for some hiking and music. Thanks, Tom
Tom Wigren Thanks a bunch for stopping by, checking out the channel, and subscribing! I subbed your channel as well. I always enjoy other outdoor channels. I think it is great that the outdoor channels are supporting each other, with UA-cam kicking us to the curb, so to speak 😀 Take care!
