The Upper White River forms in far northwestern Arkansas in Madison County, then flows north through Fayetteville to Beaver Lake, on north across the Missouri State Line to Table Rock Lake, then east to Bull Shoals Lake, from which it emerges as the White River. The Upper White River is joined by two major tributaries, the West Fork of the Upper White River and War Eagle Creek, as well as numerous other smaller creeks and streams that are not navigable. The waterways described in this section offer very moderate Class I to II water with few hazards where canoeists and kayakers can paddle in the vicinity of Fayetteville and US Highway 71, which is never far away.
