White River

The White River is part of the McClellan-Kerr Inland Waterway Navigation System and meanders from its source in the northwest corner of the state, across the Missouri state line, and back into Arkansas to the Mississippi River. The river traverses a wide variety of Arkansas' landscapes, ranging from the Mississippi River Delta, the Central Arkansas Lowlands, and the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas and Missouri. Along its course lies the White River National Wildlife Refuge, the historical Jacksonport State Park, the Ozark Folk Center, and the beautiful Ozark National Forest. The White River offers some of the state's best bass and trout fishing, and also some excellent catfish along the southern reaches. Access to the river is convenient from Searcy and there are many services available, including boat rentals, resorts, and guide services. In the northern portion of the state, the White River is popular among canoeists and rafters.
