The Mulberry River is a pristine, scenic waterway nestled in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. This approximately 55-mile river flows from its headwaters in the Boston Mountains of Newton County through the rugged terrain of the Ozarks before emptying into the Arkansas River. Recognized for its natural beauty, the Mulberry was declared a scenic river of the State of Arkansas in 1985 and designated a National Wild and Scenic River in 1992. With a high gradient averaging about 4.3 meters per kilometer, this freestone river features a mix of riffles, pools, and rocky sections that provide excellent habitat for a variety of fish species. The Mulberry offers anglers a tranquil fishing experience surrounded by narrow canyons, tree-lined bluffs, and dense woods, making it not just a fishing destination but a true Ozark Mountain experience.
