Clarks River

Not to be confused with Clark River.

The Clarks River, named for William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, is a 66.7-mile-long (107.3 km)[1] tributary of the Tennessee River in the Jackson Purchase region of western Kentucky.[2] Below the West Fork Clarks River, the river has a mean annual discharge of 368 cubic feet per second. This figure is obtained by combining the average discharge of the Clarks River at Benton,[3] and the average discharge of the West Fork at Brewers.[4]
