Buffalo River State Park was an Arkansas state park, established in 1938, that was absorbed into Buffalo National River when the Federal park was established in 1972. The area is now known as Buffalo Point. The new state park was developed with Civilian Conservation Corps labor in 1939 with the construction of park structures to plans developed by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs. The CCC structures now comprise a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
