Visit Ponca Low-Water Bridge, Buffalo National River, Arkansas
Location of Beaver Jim Villines Boyhood Home. Ponca retains one of the old ‘low water’ bridges over the Buffalo. All boaters must portage over this barrier. Provides river access.
Constructed in 1943 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), the Ponca bridge made it possible for vehicles to cross the Buffalo River along the historic route to and from Jasper for several decades. Today, the low-water bridge is primarily used by paddlers, hikers, anglers, and swimmers to access the Buffalo River and area trails.
The Ponca low-water bridge is a contributing cultural feature in the Boxley Valley Historic District of Buffalo National River. Very few WPA-era bridges of its kind remain in the state of Arkansas.
