The Arikaree River is a 〔 tributary of the Republican River that starts near Limon in Lincoln County, Colorado. The river flows east into Kansas, crossing the extreme northwestern corner of that state before entering Nebraska. North of Haigler in Dundy County, Nebraska, the Arikaree River joins the North Fork Republican River to form the Republican River. The river is named for the Arikara group of Native Americans. The word "Arikaree" refers to "horn". Along the river is the site of the Battle of Beecher Island in 1868. The point where the Arikaree River flows out of Yuma County, Colorado, and into Cheyenne County, Kansas, is the lowest point in the State of Colorado at elevation. The crossing is at roughly . This crossing point holds the distinction of being the highest low point of any U.S. state. It is higher than the ''highest'' points of 18 states and the District of Columbia. ==See also== * Arikaree Breaks * Arikaree River Natural Area * List of Colorado rivers * List of Kansas rivers * List of Nebraska rivers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arikaree River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
