Buffalo National Outfitters - Our Story

The Buffalo National River holds a very special place in my heart. It’s an incredibly scenic river located in Northwest Arkansas and was the first river ever to be designated as a National River. Some of my best memories as a kid are floating the Buffalo River with my dad, catching smallmouth bass on light spinning tackle, and enjoying time on the water. 

The Buffalo River is surrounded by hundreds of hiking trails and some of the best mountain biking trails in the country. It represents everything we stand for—getting outside, experiencing nature, dipping your feet in the water, and enjoying life without an internet connection.

Our goal with Buffalo National Outfitters is to inspire people to spend more time outside. We want every product we make to be a reminder for you to unplug and spend more time outside in nature. Our products are made for going places, not just to look good and to make you "feel" outdoorsy. We want you to get outside, enjoy nature, and recharge.

 

Sincerely,

Joe Putnam
