Buffalo  River  Float
June  1 - 5

The Ozark Society Summer Float on the Buffalo River will leave from Tyler Bend (probably), at noon, on June 1.  We will have lunch, then start down the river.  The trip will end on Saturday afternoon, June 5 at Shipp’s Ferry on the White River

There will be a john boat to carry community gear for each 20 - 24 person group, however you should leave room in your canoe for one community ice chest.  This is a strenuous trip. If you are not in good enough physical condition to assist with all the chores such as lifting, carrying, cooking, clean-up, setting up and breaking camp, this may not be the trip for you.   Each person will be responsible for their own canoe and camping gear. If you need a canoe, they will be available from our outfitter.

Would you be interested in operating one of the john boats?

The person who does that, comes at no charge.  If they furnish the motor, we will pay them $150.  Our preference is for the driver to furnish the motor. If you are interested, or know someone who is interested, please let me know.  If we don't find enough boat drivers from our group, we will hire drivers from our outfitter. 

We plan to limit the group to 60 people, and no pets (please)!  The trip fee for members will be $150 for adults and $125 for children under 18.  You must be a member of the Ozark Society and will be required to sign a release form in order to participate in the trip.  If you are not currently a member, the family or individual membership is $15 per year.  The fee will include food, a shuttle from Tyler Bend to Shipp’s Ferry, john boat expense, ice, etc. 

You can secure a spot by sending a check for $50 (Balance by May 1^st) to:
