The Arkansas River is one of the Mississippi's largest tributaries. It flows
1,450 miles from the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, through the Royal Gorge, on
through Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to its confluence with the Mississippi
River. Four hundred and forty-five miles long with 17 locks and dams, the
McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MCKARNS) is a reliable, year-
round waterway into the Southwest. Essentially a series of navigation pools
connected by locks, the waterway enables vessels to overcome a 420-foot
difference in elevation from the Mississippi River to the head of navigation
at Catoosa, Oklahoma. The waterway has five major publicly developed ports and
numerous privately developed facilities.
