Arkansas Packraft was born from the idea that adventure should be accessible to all. Founded by Army combat veteran, avid adventure-seeker, and Arkansas resident Michael Barnett, the company exists to help anyone harness the limitless potential of the world around them. For Michael, that began with his local hotspot for exploration—the Buffalo National River. Named America’s first National River in 1972, the Buffalo remains one of the few undammed rivers in the contiguous United States, freely flowing for 135 miles throughout the stunning Ozark National Forest. We want you to experience what the Buffalo means to us—the freedom to roam new frontiers.
