The Port of Little Rock, established in 1959, is on the 448-mile McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, which runs from the Mississippi River to 15 miles east of Tulsa. The port features a 2,640-acre industrial park, two fullservice river terminals, its own switching railroad and a slack water harbor.
