The Arkansas River is a major tributary of the Mississippi River. It generally flows to the east and southeast as it traverses the U.S. states of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The river's source basin lies in Colorado, specifically the Arkansas River Valley. The headwaters derive from the snowpack in the Sawatch and Mosquito mountain ranges. It flows east into Kansas and finally through Oklahoma and Arkansas, where it meets the Mississippi River.

Hiking
You can see the Arkansas river very well. It is a tributary of the Mississipi river starting in Colorado. In Tulsa, the river is deep and wide enough for boats, unlike its source in Colorado which quickly turns into a rushing torrent.
