The Boeuf River is a 70-mile long tributary of the Ouachita River in northeastern Louisiana. The river was historically significant during the 18th and 19th centuries as a transportation route for steamboats and flatboats carrying goods to New Orleans. Today, the river is primarily used for recreation, including fishing, hunting, and camping. There are two large reservoirs along the river, including the Boeuf River Reservoir and the Poverty Point Reservoir, which were created by dams for flood control and water supply. The Boeuf River also serves as a water source for agricultural irrigation, providing water to farmers in the region. Despite its historical importance, the river has faced challenges from pollution and habitat loss, leading to efforts to protect and restore its ecosystem.
