</DIV>
</DIV>
<P>The Arkansas has three distinct sections in its long path through central North America. At its headwaters, the Arkansas runs as a steep fast-flowing mountain river through the Rockies in its narrow valley, dropping 4,600 feet (1.4 km) in 120 miles (193 km). This section supports extensive <A href="/wiki/Whitewater_rafting" class="mw-redirect" title="Whitewater rafting">whitewater rafting</A>, including The Numbers (near <A href="/wiki/Granite,_Colorado" title="Granite, Colorado">Granite, Colorado</A>), <A href="/wiki/Browns_Canyon_National_Monument" title="Browns Canyon National Monument">Brown's Canyon</A>, and the <A href="/wiki/Royal_Gorge" title="Royal Gorge">Royal Gorge</A>.</P>
<P>At <A href="/wiki/Ca%C3%B1on_City,_Colorado" title="Cañon City, Colorado">Cañon City, Colorado</A>, the Arkansas River valley widens and flattens markedly. Just west of <A href="/wiki/Pueblo,_Colorado" title="Pueblo, Colorado">Pueblo, Colorado</A>, the river enters the <A href="/wiki/Great_Plains" title="Great Plains">Great Plains</A>. Through the rest of <A href="/wiki/Colorado" title="Colorado">Colorado</A>, <A href="/wiki/Kansas" title="Kansas">Kansas</A>, and much of <A href="/wiki/Oklahoma" title="Oklahoma">Oklahoma</A>, it is a typical Great Plains riverway, with wide, shallow banks subject to seasonal flooding and periods of dwindling flow.

<P>In eastern Oklahoma the river begins to widen further into a more contained consistent channel. To maintain more reliable flow rates, a series of large reservoir lakes have been built on the Arkansas and its intersecting tributaries including the <A href="/wiki/Canadian_River" title="Canadian River">Canadian</A>, <A href="/wiki/Verdigris_River" title="Verdigris River">Verdigris</A>, <A href="/wiki/Grand_River_(Oklahoma)" title="Grand River (Oklahoma)">Neosho (Grand)</A>, <A href="/wiki/Illinois_River_(Arkansas)" class="mw-redirect" title="Illinois River (Arkansas)">Illinois</A>, and <A href="/wiki/Poteau_River" title="Poteau River">Poteau</A> rivers.<SUP id="cite_ref-EOHC-ArkansasRiver_9-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-EOHC-ArkansasRiver-9">[9]</A></SUP> These locks and dams allow the river to be navigable by barges and large river craft downriver of <A href="/wiki/Muskogee,_Oklahoma" title="Muskogee, Oklahoma">Muskogee, Oklahoma</A>, where the <A href="/wiki/McClellan-Kerr_Arkansas_River_Navigation_System" class="mw-redirect" title="McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System">McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System</A> joins in with the Verdigris River.</P>

<P>Water flow in the Arkansas River (as measured in central <A href="/wiki/Kansas" title="Kansas">Kansas</A>) has dropped from approximately 248 cubic feet per second (7 m³/s) average from 1944-1963 to 53 cubic feet per second (1.5 m³/s) average from 1984–2003, largely because of the pumping of <A href="/wiki/Groundwater" title="Groundwater">groundwater</A> for <A href="/wiki/Irrigation" title="Irrigation">irrigation</A> in eastern <A href="/wiki/Colorado" title="Colorado">Colorado</A> and western <A href="/wiki/Kansas" title="Kansas">Kansas</A>.</P>

<P>The Kansas-Oklahoma Arkansas River Basin Compact was created in 1965 to promote mutual consideration and equity over water use in the basin shared by those states. It led to the Kansas-Oklahoma Arkansas River Commission, which was charged with administering the compact and reducing pollution. The compact was approved and implemented by both states in 1970, and has been in force since then.<SUP id="cite_ref-EOHC-ArkansasRiver_9-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-EOHC-ArkansasRiver-9">[9]</A></SUP></P>

When the McClellan–Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System was constructed between 1963 and 1970, the Arkansas Post Canal was significantly improved, while the lower Arkansas River continued to be bypassed by commercial vessels.<SUP id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-11">[11]</A></SUP></P>

His original objective was to establish a trading post near the present city of <A href="/wiki/Texarkana,_Arkansas" title="Texarkana, Arkansas">Texarkana, Arkansas</A>, but he then extended his trip overland as far north as the Arkansas River (which he designated as the <I>Alcansas</I>).

La Harpe's party were honored with the <A href="/wiki/Ceremonial_pipe" title="Ceremonial pipe">calumet</A> ceremony and spent ten days at this location. In 1988, evidence of a native village was discovered along the Arkansas River 13 miles (21 km) south of present-day Tulsa, Oklahoma.

<P>French traders and trappers who had opened up trade with Indian tribes in Canada and the areas around the Great Lakes began exploring the Mississippi and some of its northern tributaries.

<P>By the time Fort Smith was established in 1817, larger capacity watercraft became available to transport goods up and down the Arkansas. These included flatboats (<I>bateaus</I>) and <A href="/wiki/Keelboats" class="mw-redirect" title="Keelboats">keelboats</A>. Along with the pirogues, they transported piles of deer, bear, otter, beaver and buffalo skins up and down the river.

<P>During the American Civil War, each side tried to prevent the other from using the Arkansas and its tributaries as a route for moving reinforcements. Initially, the Union Army abandoned its forts in the Indian Territory, including Fort Gibson and Fort Smith, in order to maximize its strength for campaigns elsewhere, while the Confederate Army sent troops from Texas to support its Native American allies. Union Troops returned later in the war, after defeating the Confederates at the <A href="/wiki/Battle_of_Pea_Ridge" title="Battle of Pea Ridge">Battle of Pea Ridge</A> and the <A href="/wiki/Battle_of_Fort_Smith" title="Battle of Fort Smith">Battle of Fort Smith</A>, and began recovering the position it had previously abandoned, most notably Fort Gibson, reopening the Arkansas River as a supply route. In September 1864, a body of Confederate irregulars led by General Stand Watie successfully ambushed a Union supply ship bound for Fort Gibson. The vessel was destroyed, and a part of its cargo was looted by the Confederates.</P>
