Description

Tyler Bend is located in the Middle River. Sections of the middle river offer quiet, gentle floats through a pastoral setting and opportunities to enjoy the river's tranquillity. The Tyler Bend Visitor Center provides orientation and information about the river and all areas in the park. The facility offers an exhibit area and an auditorium where a variety of programs are shown. The visitor center is open year around.

The Collier Homestead site at Tyler Bend represents an Ozark dwelling from the 1930s. An accessible trail to the homestead and nearby overlook is located here. The Buffalo River Trail can be intersected at the Collier Trailhead Parking area. This trail joins the Ozark Highlands Trail at Woolum, 14 miles upstream from Tyler Bend.
