Ouachita (River) The Ouachita River originates in Polk County, Arkansas, and flows 510 miles in a southerly direction to Jonesville, Louisiana, where it converges with the Tensas and Little Rivers to form the Black River. Its navigable area from Camden to Jonesville is part of the Ouachita-Black River Navigation Project, begun in 1902. In 1924 construction was completed on the system of six locks and dams. In later years outdated locks were replaced and presently there are four locks and dams on the waterway, each with lock chambers 84 feet wide and 600 feet in length having from 3 to 5 tainter gates. The locks and dams have a lift from 12 feet up to 30 feet, which provides a minimum 9-foot deep and 100-foot wide navigation channel to accommodate barge traffic from the Red River north to Camden, AR.
