Hunting Arrowheads

As you explore our beautiful buttreses and open areas, you can hunt for arrowheads on your own. The Ozarks bluff dwellers of prehistory left lots of hunting arrow points along Bear Creek that flow into the Buffalo River. You can imagine what it was like to live in an Indian village way back then.
