About the white river


The White River is a 720-mile-long river in the United States, originating in the Boston Mountains of Arkansas and flowing through Missouri and into the Mississippi River. Historically, the river was important for transportation, serving as a major route for steamboats in the 19th century. Today, it is primarily used for recreational purposes, including fishing, boating, and camping. The river is also an important source of hydroelectric power, with several dams and reservoirs along its course, including the Bull Shoals Dam and Table Rock Lake. These reservoirs not only generate electricity but also provide flood control, navigation, and irrigation for agriculture. Despite its importance to the region, the White River faces challenges from pollution and environmental degradation.
