The Strawberry River is a tributary of the Black River, about 90 mi (145 km) long, in northern Arkansas in the United States.Via the Black and White Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River. The free-flowing Strawberry River winds through the Ozark foothills some 80 miles before joining the Black River at the western edge of the delta. With headwaters near Salem (Fulton County) the Strawberry gains volume from dozens of spring-fed creeks before reaching its 15th mile. Most recreational use of the stream begins at the U.S. 167 bridge, north of Evening Shade, and continues downstream to the Ark. 115 bridge, near Jesup (Lawrence County). There are access roads about every ten miles and outings can be shorten by electing to float only part of the middle section. The Nature Conservancy preserves 1,400 acres along the stream. There are no marinas along the route, but Lake Charles State Park is east of the river and offers excellent camping and lake fishing. The Strawberry River rises in eastern Fulton County and flows generally southeastwardly through Izard, Sharp and Lawrence Counties; it joins the Black River in the northeastern extremity of Independence County, 10 mi (16 km) north of Tuckerman. A minor headwater tributary of the Strawberry River is known as the Little Strawberry River.
