The White River is a 722 mile (1,162 km) long river that flows through the U.S. states of Arkansas and Missouri. The source of the White River is in the Boston Mountains of northwest Arkansas, in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest southeast of Fayetteville. The upper portions of the river are fast, cold, and clear and are internationally known for producing world-record trout. The river flows northwards from its source in northwest Arkansas, loops up through southwest Missouri near Branson and then travels back into Arkansas and on generally southeast to its mouth at the Mississippi River. Once the river enters the Mississippi River Delta region near Batesville, Arkansas the river becomes navigable to shallow-draft vessels and its speed decreases considerably. The final 10 miles of the river serves as the final segment of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System; this part of the channel is deeper than the rest of the river.
