The Canadian River (Pawnee: Kícpahat ) is the longest tributary of the Arkansas River. It is about 906 miles (1,458 km) long, starting in Colorado and traveling through New Mexico, the Texas Panhandle, and most of Oklahoma.
The Canadian is sometimes referred to as the South Canadian River to differentiate it from the North Canadian River that flows into it.
