yeah, I know after Greer it is good year round. We are (or were, at least) planning on putting in above Greer for a 2 day float. I know that section is more rainfall dependant, and unfortunately doesn't have a USGS gauge, so no way to tell from where I am what it is looking like.

I have a group headed down the weekend of June 9, planning on putting in at Cane Bluff. I know it has been pretty dry down there, is anyone even putting that far up? Talked to Buffalo River concessionaires (headed down there next weekend) and they are all shutting down, no water on the Upper Buffalo at all. What is the highest spot that we can reasonably put in if no rain between now and our trip? Thanks!

After doing Upper Buffalo last May in the middle of hail and 3" of rain the weekend of the Joplin tornado...nothing seems like too big of a deal.

Thanks. I have Google earthed it and there appear to be several good options. We will have 20 - 25 floaters (here's the warning to all of you expecting solitude that Friday), so I don't like to leave it to chance that there will be an open spot that is big enough for all of us. Most of us are experienced floaters, but we always have a couple newbies. I've read that Mary Decker isn't that tricky, is that right? We will probably camp above it just to make sure nobody is sleeping in a soggy tent anyway.

Fantastic, thanks. We will be floating Friday/Saturday, so figuring lots of boat traffic on the float down to Riverton on Saturday. I assume the rainbow fishing across from Little Hurricane is still solid, what is that, 3 miles or so below Greer?

Very helpful, thanks. We will have a fairly large group, around 20, with a mix of fishing enthusiasm/skill. Several of us will want to fish quite a bit, many/most will just be enjoying the scenery. We've done Upper Jacks (30+ miles) and Upper Buffalo the last two years and our experience has been that first day we are pretty slow; more fishing and general goofing off and second day we make much better time; that's why we figured we would do less than half the first day. We also probably won't get on the river until later on the first day. It is also my understanding that the jet boats get thicker the lower you go, so figured if we were going to take our time, higher is better. It would be nice to be able to stop and refresh the coolers and grab gear at Greer and then float a couple miles in the trophy trout area and camp somewhere we could continue to hit the bows that afternoon/evening. It sounds like the float camp above Turner and just past Hurricane Creek might be ideal. Are there any other good gravel bars before that? Thank you all for your help.

First post. I have a group that will be doing a 2 day float in early June, probably Cane Bluff - Riverton. We would like to camp on a gravel bar (not an organized campground) somewhere below Greer / Highway 19. We will probably stash a car at Greer Access to grab some gear. Any ideas for a good campsight would be great, thanks. I'm sure I will have more questions as we get closer to our trip.
