The Strawberry River is a tributary of the White River, located in north-central Arkansas. The river is approximately 110 miles long and flows through the Ozark Mountains. The river was named after the wild strawberries that grew along its banks. The Strawberry River has several reservoirs and dams, including the Strawberry River Dam and Lake, which was completed in 1923. The lake is used for flood control, irrigation, and recreation. The river is also used for agriculture and supports several species of fish, including smallmouth bass and rainbow trout. The river has a rich history and was used for transportation of goods and people in the 19th century. Today, the river is popular for fishing, kayaking, and hiking.
