The Verdigris River rises in Kansas and flows in a southeasterly direction entering Oklahoma to the east of U.S. Highway 169 north of
Nowata emptying into the
Arkansas River near
Fort Gibson. The river flows into and out of
Lake Oologah south to just north of
Tulsa and then southeast to the Arkansas. Its estimated length is about 270 miles with just less than half within the borders of Oklahoma.
