Waterways
The McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System is the nation's most inland all weather seaport, linking Oklahoma to major U.S. markets along the Mississippi River and the ports. This commercially navigable 445-mile waterway, which enters the Mississippi River at river mile 599 above New Orleans, provides for barge shipping over 10 million tons per year. Two publicly developed Oklahoma ports at Catoosa and Muskogee are on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System. |
