About This Access Site
Buffalo Creek is a medium-sized river system in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, with a total length of 70 miles and a drainage area of 381 square miles. This take-out access point is located on a whitewater section of the creek, making it suitable for paddlers finishing a downstream run. The creek features a moderate gradient of 2.4 feet per mile with an average flow of about 103 cubic feet per second, creating moving water conditions typical of Ozark-region streams.

As a take-out location, this site is designed for paddlers exiting the water after floating or paddling downstream. The creek's stream order of 4 indicates it's a medium river with enough volume to support recreational paddling. Water conditions are generally moving with moderate current, though flow rates vary seasonally. Paddlers should be aware that the creek is a headwater system with elevation drop across the drainage area, meaning water conditions can change with rainfall.

Boaters using this take-out should understand that Buffalo Creek serves paddlers exploring the Ozark waterway system. The site's specific amenities and exact launch infrastructure are not detailed in the available data, so contacting local paddling clubs or McCurtain County parks before visiting is recommended to confirm current conditions, parking, and facility details.
