Park Staff for the Buffalo National River recently winterized the park’s facilities. “With cold weather approaching, water systems and restrooms have been winterized to prevent freezing and broken pipes.” said Superintendent Kevin Cheri. Weather permitting, the water systems will resume operation in mid-March.
