Deep Fork River
The Deep Fork River (Deep Fork of the North Canadian) is an Oklahoma tributary of the North Canadian River. The headwaters flow from north Oklahoma City and the river empties into the North Canadian River, now impounded by Lake Eufaula.
==Course and characteristics==
The Deep Fork begins in the storm sewers of northern Oklahoma City and flows eastward through Oklahoma County where five miles of the river is impounded by Arcadia Lake. Below the lake the river crosses into Lincoln county, winds back and forth across the Creek–Okfuskee county lines, crosses Okmulgee County, and into Eufaula Lake near the Okmulgee–McIntosh county line. Communities along the waterway are Arcadia, Luther, Wellston, Warwick, Sparks, and Welty. It is impounded by Arcadia Reservoir and by Eufaula Lake. Near Okmulgee, the river meanders through the Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge.〔Delorme Topo USA, 6.0〕
The Deep Fork has a total length of and has a long narrow drainage basin averaging in width.〔http://www.catfish1.com/forums/showthread.php?503-Deep-Fork-River, accessed 16 Dec 2012〕 The Deep Fork flows through a region of red sandstone hills and red soils and the river is of the same color. The river is channelized in its upper course. The Deep Fork runs in a narrow channel, about wide at normal flow, frequently obstructed by fallen trees, and often enclosed by steep red clay banks as high as . The river is prone to flooding, especially in its lower course where it is bordered by an extensive area of wetlands, temporary and oxbow lakes, and a deciduous bottom land forest, some of which is included in the Deep Fork NWR. The upper courses of the river are usually bordered by a narrow band of forest.〔Pigg, Jimmie, Coleman, Marks S., Wright, Jay, Gibbs, Robert, Gido, Keith and Lemmons, Roger R. "An Ecological Investigation of the Ichthyofauna in the Deep Fork River, Central Oklahoma: 1976-1996." ''Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Science.'' Vol. 78,1998, p. 10-11〕
The Deep Fork is popular for fishing, especially for large flathead catfish. Water quality is considered fair in most of the river.〔Pigg, et al, pp 72-74〕 Kayaking and canoeing are also popular. The National Wildlife Refuge has walking trails and blinds for wildlife observation and features a large number of waterfowl and other birds, both migratory and permanent.
