Designated trails for horseback riding are located in all districts of the national river. Two camping areas in the upper river have been designated for visitors with horses. These areas, at Steel Creek and Erbie, are accessible by vehicle. Middle river horse users may overnight at Woolum. Visitors to the Lower Buffalo Wilderness Area may camp at Big Creek or Hathaway Gap Trailheads.
