Buffalo National River Interpretive Programs
Attending a ranger-led interpretive program can increase your understanding and appreciation of Buffalo National River . Park rangers lead activities throughout the park free of charge. Evening programs are offered throughout the summer on weekends at Ozark and Tyler Bend Campgrounds, and daily at Buffalo Point Campground. Additional programs may be offered, which can include children's programs, guided canoe floats, guided walks, and special talks and demonstrations. Current program schedules and information are available at the contact stations and on bulletin boards around the park.
Maine ocean islands provide the only nesting sites for Atlantic puffins in the United States. Eastern Egg Rock in the midcoast region, Seal Island and Matinicus Rock at the mouth of Penobscot Bay, and Machias Seal Island and Petit Manan Island off the downeast coast provide habitat for more than 4,000 puffins each summer.
