Along the Middle Red River (English)

he middle reach of the Red River of the South extends from the upper end of the old Great Raft, which was just below today's Shreveport, Louisiana, to Burkburnett, Texas, a few miles north of Wichita Falls. While channel of the lower Red has been straightened and deepened for the benefit of river commerce, the middle Red has been modified by dams for flood control and agricultural benefits on tributaries throughout much of its 1,290-mile length, as well as by Denison Dam, north of Dallas, which impounds Lake Texoma.
