About the pawnee river


The Pawnee River is a tributary of the Arkansas River, flowing through Kansas. It stretches for approximately 180 miles, with its source in Hodgeman County and mouth at Larned. The river was historically significant to the Pawnee Native American tribe, who lived along its banks. The river is fed by various creeks and springs, but its flow is largely dependent on precipitation. Several reservoirs and dams have been constructed on the river to control its flow and provide irrigation water for agriculture. These include the Rattlesnake Creek Reservoir and HorseThief Reservoir. The river also supports recreational activities, such as fishing and boating, and provides habitat for various wildlife species.
