The Buffalo Lodge is a huge, 2-story log structure with sleeping accommodations for up to 24 people. The lodge is only four miles west of the town of Jasper, Arkansas and just minutes to the Buffalo National River. It is totally private and secluded, situated on 20 wooded acres at the end of a half-mile road. It's the perfect place for reunions, gatherings of family and friends, large groups, church and youth groups, hiking clubs, Scouts, and corporate meetings and retreats. It's a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty and quiet of the Ozark Mountains, any time of year.
Activities abound in the natural areas nearby.
Bird watching and other nature study are great pastimes here. Animals found in the Ozarks include black bear, coyote, fox, raccoon, deer and wild turkey. A herd of 150 elk was reintroduced to the area in 1981 and now numbers 500. To that end, NCRC planned for and purchased the house and property, to be rented as lodging and to create the Woodland Learning Center. This is a place for nature study and outdoor activities for children and adults.
