  • Indian Rockhouse Trail is located at Buffalo Point inside the Buffalo National River boundaries. It features a few cool points of interest but the main one is a giant bluff shelter that has been used by people as early as 7,000 BCE called Indian Rockhouse.
    The trail is a 3.5 mile loop and has hill you have to hike up to get back to the trailhead. It's not too bad if you're in decent shape though, we saw several families with young children leaving as we were starting and they seemed to be fine.
    We hiked the trail on August 3rd, late summer isn't really the best for hiking in the Ozarks but there were a couple cooler days (by cooler I mean low-mid 80s) and we figured this trail would be traveled and maintained enough that we wouldn't have too many issues with overgrown, buggy sections of the trail, and in the end I don't remember facing any. So this is a great trail if you're wanting something mellow so you don't get tore up by ticks and chiggers. We would love to come back during Spring to see the creeks and streams flowing though!
    Thank you for watching! Don't forget to give this video a big ole thumbs up!

    That was a pretty cool trail and the caves were cool too. I like the bathtub.

    I discovered your channel investigating places to check out when we come to Arkansas this summer. My favorite cousin moved there so here we come! With that said, there is a river access point that I frequent here in my mountains that I never tell anyone else about. Nothing makes my soul happier than to have the place to myself on a hot, southern summer morning. Your videos, so far, have made me less sad about forgoing Colorado for Arkansas! I did not think that was possible. Thanks for sharing

      Thanks! It's almost spring and I'd imagine that creek will be have some water, probably even prettier then!

      Thank you! I just cut it randomly s few months back, forgot to mention anything about it in the last video lol.
      I work outside and having long hair in the heat and humidity of summer just wasn't pleasant

    I did this trail a few years ago, and thought it was awesome! I didn't stay long though, because there was some sketchy looking dude hiking behind me on the way to the cave. So i barely rested and almost immediately hiked back uphill. Dude didn't follow me then. He was probably part of the Dean family lol.

    Nice video. I might write some of these places down to visit/videograph myself whenever I get down to Arkansas next.
