Upper Arkansas River Basin Site Page
Metals enter the Arkansas River in acidic mine drainage and runoff from mine wastes and tailings in the Leadville, Colorado, area. The metals and acidic conditions are toxic to aquatic life. Scientists have studied the mechanisms of metal transport and transformation in streams affected by mine drainage. Now, efforts are focused on using this knowledge to determine effective remedial methods. ... Upper Arkansas River Basin Toxics Site ... [Read More]

Buffalo National River (National Park Service)
The Buffalo River is one of the few remaining unpolluted, free-flowing rivers in the lower 48 states offering both swift-running and placid stretches. The Buffalo National River encompasses 135 miles of the 150-mile long river. It begins as a trickle in the Boston Mountains 15 miles above the park boundary. Following what is likely an ancient riverbed, the Buffalo cuts its way through massive limestone bluffs traveling eastward through the Ozarks and into the White River. The national river has three designated wilderness areas within its boundaries. ... [Read More]
Arkansas Post National Memorial (National Park Service)
During the Civil War, Confederate troops tried to maintain tactical control of the confluence of the two rivers, and in 1862 they constructed a massive earthen fortification known as Fort Hindman at the Post. In January 1863 Union troops destroyed the fort, ensuring control of the Arkansas River. ... Over the years, the Post relocated as necessary due to flooding from the Arkansas River, but its position always served of strategic importance for the French, Spanish, American, and Confederate military. Spanish soldiers and British partisans clashed here in the 1783 "Colbert Raid," the only Revolutionary War action in Arkansas. ... [Read More]
