		However, most of the river is not a navigable stream, and the section that is suitable for recreational paddling is a short stretch of about 22 miles located in southcentral Oklahoma, near Turner Falls and Price Falls, adjacent to the Chickasaw National Recreation Area.
		The river is dependent upon run-off from local rains within the drainage basin, so it may run high and fast, moderate and smooth, slow and meandering or not at all according to what Mother Nature decides to give us.
		Little did I know that the Washita River was just a very short distance away from there, and that it so magnificent a place to paddle for pure scenic beauty without having to drive a thousand miles or more.

	Washita Battlefield National Historic Site - Nature & Science
		Judging by the wide, low-lying floodplain that is apparent on either side of its banks, the Washita used to flood quite severely on an at least occasional basis.
		One documented flood during the Dust Bowl era was enough to convince the government to install some of the first flood control dams in the nation on upper tributaries of the Washita, west of the present-day park.
		Within the park itself but before its establishment, the river itself was diverted into a man-made channel, at least for a time.

		The Washita attack was part of a plan to dispossess the Plains Indians of the Great Plains, contrary to the provisions of the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, which set the region aside and which was ratified by Congress to be a common hunting ground for these tribes, plus a game refuge for the buffalo.
		Using Washita as the jumping off place, I decided to launch into the implications I had alluded to in the manuscript's conclusion--namely that the Great Plains, because of the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, and because of the genocide used to break it, should be returned.
		After finishing the manuscript Washita, genocide on the Plains, I began to sense that something was terribly wrong with the settlement of the West, in particular, the Midwest or Great Plains region.

	Washita Battlefield National Historic Site - Nature & Science
		The Washita River, a typical muddy eastern river that more closely resembles a creek than a river as it passes through the park, is a major natural resource of the historic site.
		Because the floodplains along the Washita are composed of relatively moist and organic soil, they have been coveted as prime farmland since Euro-American settlement at the turn of the 19'th century.
		In fact, many agricultural fields abutted right up to the banks of the river, which meant that most of the riparian vegetation was necessarily removed.
