Richland Creek is a classic Ozark stream with classic beginnings. Its uppermost tributaries drain off to the east from Arkansas State Highway 7--the state's first Scenic Byway and a road traditionally listed among the country's 10 prettiest drives. Dropping 1,400 feet along the way, these waters eventually join up with those of the Buffalo National River at Woolum--an access point for floaters which also features a primitive campground.
