Canadian River, New Mexico

Canadian River, New Mexico
Facts & Features

The Canadian River is a very long, major U.S. waterway that flows from its headwaters near Raton Pass in far northern Colfax County, just south of the Colorado border, down through east-central New Mexico, then east across the Texas Panhandle into Oklahoma, where it drains a sizeable portion of that state before reaching its confluence with the Arkansas River just west of Fort Smith, Arkansas.

In New Mexico, Canadian River has a navigable flow that is usually limited to years of above-average rainfall in the desert between Raton and Tucumcari. Its major tributaries include the Vermejo, Ute, Mora, Conchas and Cimarron Rivers.
