The Patio Boulders is a bouldering area in the Buffalo Ranger District of the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest in Arkansas, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Autobahn Boulder, The Plaque Wall and South Side & Albino Rhino Wall all about 0.1 mile away, and Sam's Throne a hike of about 0.1 mile. The climbing here is bouldering only, and the single listed route, Terfah, is a V0. That makes it a low-grade boulder problem, suitable for climbers looking for a straightforward session on the rock. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Deer, Arkansas, run to highs around 70°F in May and 65°F in October, while July and August average highs in the low 80s. For more time on the land, the Catacombs hike is about 0.4 mile away. Paddlers can head to Richland Creek, about 6.8 miles off, or the Buffalo River, about 9 miles away.
