The Premier Outfitter in the Upper Buffalo Area
March through June is the best time of year to float the spectacular upper
Buffalo River with Lost Valley Canoe (LVC). We offer float trips ranging from 1/2
day excursions to 10 day adventures with dramatic bluffs, caves, and hiking
trails to explore along the river. The highest waterfall between the Appalachian
and the Rocky Mountains cascades above the upper Buffalo.
Hiking information and a variety of Eco-tours are available upon request.
Surrounded by the Ponca Wilderness and America's first National River, you'll
discover why most of our customers are regulars who stay in our unique
cabins, rustic bunkhouse, and pristine campground alongside Ponca Creek
year after year.
Lost Valley Canoe is a Green Company
At Lost Valley Canoe, we promote recycling and only use green, earth-friendly
products in our cabins . Convenient recycling bins are provided at our store.
Help us keep the environment and the Buffalo River clean and beautiful. Join us
in treasuring this natural wonder!

"We had a wonderful time here in Ponca and at your beautiful cabin. You make the place feel very much like a home away from home, not only by the cabin itself, but by the neighborliness of everyone who works here at
LVCL. The trails are gorgeous, the elk majestic, and the hot tub was a "hot Tub", so basically everything was perfect!"
