Mission or Purpose:
Little Buffalo River Falls Day Use Area is open from May 15th to September 15th. Trails within the park may be accessible on foot outside of those dates, but they will not be maintained clear of snow, and so you enter at your own risk. Services such as toilets and garbage removal are not provided outside the open season
Programs, Products or Services:
Little Buffalo River Falls day use area is located approximately 50 Km northwest of Fort Smith on highway #5 and just a short way from the southern Northwest Territories entrance to Wood Buffalo National Park.
The site has a kitchen shelter, tables, fire pits and outhouses.
A short distance from the site is the boat launch to the Little Buffalo River.
A forest fire burned over much of the land around here in 1981. Re-growth has been extremely vigorous , and the park is now just as beautiful as it always was. There are interpretive signs at the park that explain the natural process of regeneration caused by the forest fire.
