Getting To Know Your Oklahoma Streams….. Blue River Medicine Creek Oklahoma probably has more kinds of country, more kinds of weather, and more kinds of flora and fauna than any other area of similar size in the United States – Angie Debo Mountain Fork River Fed by the 500 square mile Arbuckle Simpson aquifer, this diverse river flows through granite outcroppings and a series of waterfalls before its confluence with the Red River. Good water quality, a gravel bottom and clear water help make the Illinois River and two of its tributaries Designated Scenic Rivers. This “out of place” southwest Oklahoma stream flows from the Wichita Mountains before emptying into Lake Lawtonka and eventually East Cache Creek. It’s home to isolated populations of 12 fish species not typically associated with southwest Oklahoma. On its journey from the Ouachita Mountains to the Gulf Coastal plain the Mountain Fork River changes in both geology and species composition. It’s home to the endangered leopard darter and lowland species like bowfin and gar. Elm Fork of the Red River Like many sandy Oklahoma streams, the Elm Fork has a braided channel. Fed by saltwater springs (some which have salinities higher than seawater), its inhabitants are specially adapted to this unique and extreme environment. Illinois River
