Spring River (Deschutes River)

The Spring River is a tributary, only about 1 mile (1.6 km) long, of the Deschutes River in Deschutes County in the U.S. state of Oregon. Arising near Anns Butte, it flows generally northeast into the Deschutes at Sunriver, about 190 miles (310 km) from the larger stream's confluence with the Columbia River. The Spring River has no named tributaries.

The creek has few resident fish but provides spawning and rearing habitat for the rainbow and brown trout and other species from the Deschutes. The lower river is accessible through United States Forest Service land.

Spring River (Missouri)

The Spring River is a 129-mile-long (208 km) waterway located in southwestern Missouri, southeastern Kansas, and northeastern Oklahoma. It begins in northern Barry County, Missouri south of Aurora, flows north of Verona and turns west across Lawrence and Jasper counties, passing through Carthage, before crossing into Cherokee County, Kansas, where it widens considerably. It flows past the east sides of Riverton and Baxter Springs before emptying into the Grand Lake o' the Cherokees in Ottawa County, Oklahoma.

History

The Spring River takes its name from the many seeps and springs that provide its baseflow. Big Spring in Lawrence County is the largest spring in the Spring River basin, discharging 12.3 million gallons of water per day. The spring flows from the base of a high bluff of Burlington Keokuk limestone known as Baptist Hill, and enters the Spring River about 200 feet away. The river forms the western boundary of the Ozarks in southwest Missouri and southeast Kansas. All of the Ozark area in southeast Kansas is contained within the Spring River basin.
