The Blue River is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed June 3, 2011〕 tributary of the Red River in southern Oklahoma in the United States. Via the Red River, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River. According to the Geographic Names Information System, the river has also been known as Blue Creek. The Board on Geographic Names settled on "Blue River" as the stream's official name in 1977. ==Course== The Blue River originates in southeastern Murray County, southwest of Roff. It flows east into Pontotoc County and turns southeast through Johnston and Bryan counties, past the town of Milburn and within of Durant. It joins the Red River in southeastern Bryan County. The river basin is long and narrow, draining an area of 1,750 km2 (670 sq. mi). In contrast to the upper river, clear (except after rains), spring-fed, and fast-flowing, the lower river is "deep and muddy."〔Vaughn, Garvin C. "Catastrophic Decline of the Mussel Fauna of the Blue River, Oklahoma" ''The Southwestern Naturalist,'' Sept. 1997, p. 333〕 The Blue River is one of the last free flowing streams in Oklahoma; water flows from its source to its mouth without dams or other man-made structures controlling the flow of water. Fish include Smallmouth, Spotted, and Largemouth bass, Crappie, Catfish, and a varied community of panfish including the Long ear, Redbreast, Redear, and Green. Trout are stocked in the river at the Blue River Fishing Area north of Tishomingo, making it a designated Oklahoma trout stream from November 1 till March 31. This brings anglers to fish for rainbow and brown trout during the winter when the river waters are at their coldest.〔"Blue River Oklahoma." http://blueriverok.com/index.html, accessed 20 Jun 2012〕
