River Summary: The Neosho River is a 463-mile-long river that flows through Kansas and Oklahoma. The river has a rich history dating back to the 1800s when it was used for transportation and trade. Today, the river is used for agriculture and recreation. The Neosho River watershed includes several reservoirs and dams, including the John Redmond Reservoir, the Council Grove Lake, and the Fall River Lake.
