13 Nov Buffalo River trail work and celebration

Date:         Nov 17 2018,  9AM – ?
Type:         Day hike, Maintenance, Social Gathering
Location:  South Maumee area of Buffalo River, then Gravity Brew Works in Big Flat, Ark.
Description:     Join the Buffalo River Foundation for a celebration of the successful campaign to purchase the Roberts Tract and eliminate an obstacle to completion of the Buffalo River Trail between Highways 65 and 14!  Hike the Buffalo River Trail to the Roberts Tract in the morning, and join in the fun that afternoon at Gravity Brew Works in Big Flat.  Entertainment provided by the Creek Rocks at the brewery.

Meet at the South Maumee campground (36.039799, -92.635821) at 9:00 AM.  Parking at the trail head is very limited so there will be a shuttle from the campground to the trail head.  We’ll hike upstream a couple miles to the former Roberts Tract, doing a little lopping and trail clearing along the way.  There will be a short program at noon so bring your lunch, snacks, and water.

We’ll hike out and shuttle back to the campground, and then optionally head to Gravity Brew Works in Big Flat (about 1.5 miles east of town at 36.00814, -92.37914) by about 3 PM for beverages and entertainment.
