My wife's cousin lived near Bald Jesse Flat which is near Yellville, Not too far east of Harrison.

The Buffalo river is quite an experience. When there is excess water it is too wild for anyone lacking a very determined death wish. Then it is dry it is a series of disconnected pools. The "Goldilocks" situation is when you have a series of pools and drops and no portage required. You drift along on the lazy current through the pools and at the lower ends you accelerate to light speed hit standing waves go over small waterfalls etc. Quite thrilling... then the whole thing repeats at the next pool.
