Buffaloe Road Canoe Access Area provides a natural launch point on the Neuse River with limited parking and a natural/undeveloped access area; the site is designated as a secondary access point in Raleigh's Neuse River Blueway Plan with long-term plans for improved facilities including a formal launch and expanded parking.

Currently, the access features a natural launch with a short portage from the parking area, making it suitable for paddlers seeking an alternative to more developed launch sites, though improvements to decrease erosion and improve traction are recommended.
