  1. cimarron river

    The Cimarron River is a major river system located in the central United States. It spans approximately 698 miles, beginning in northern New Mexico and flowing through Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma, where it eventually joins the Arkansas River. Its name originates from the early Spanish term 'cimarron', which means 'wild' or 'unruly'. This refers to the river's unpredictable nature and tendency to cause damaging floods. The river provides opportunities for outdoor activities like fishing and kayaking and is also important for irrigation and agriculture.

  1. Cimarron River

    The Cimarron River extends 698 miles across New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Kansas. The headwaters flow from Johnson Mesa west of Folsom in northeastern New Mexico. The river enters the Oklahoma Panhandle near Kenton, crosses the southeastern corner of Colorado into Kansas, re-enters the Oklahoma Panhandle, re-enters Kansas, and finally returns to Oklahoma where it joins the Arkansas River at Keystone Reservoir west of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The river's name comes from the early Spanish name, Río de los Carneros Cimarrón, which is usually translated as River of the Wild Sheep. Early American explorers also called it the Red Fork of the Arkansas because of water's red color. In New Mexico and extreme western Oklahoma the river is known as the Dry Cimarron River. This is by contrast to a wetter Cimarron River located further west. The Dry Cimarron River is not completely dry but sometimes its water disappears entirely under the sand in the river bed. The Dry Cimarron Scenic Byway follows the river from Folsom to the Oklahoma border. In Oklahoma the river flows along the southern edges of Black Mesa, the highest point in that state. As it first crosses the Kansas border, the river flows through the Cimarron National Grassland.
