L'Anguille River, Tributary river in northeastern Arkansas, United States
The L'Anguille River extends 110 miles through Craighead, Poinsett, Cross, St. Francis, and Lee Counties, flowing southward from Jonesboro to the St. Francis River.
French trappers established their presence along the waterway during the 18th century, naming it L'Anguille, which translates to eel in French.
The river influenced the development of Marianna, founded in 1848 as Walnut Ridge, which later relocated downstream for improved river navigation purposes.
The river maintains an average discharge of 1,141 cubic feet per second at Palestine, Arkansas, supporting agricultural irrigation throughout the region.
The Environmental Protection Agency designated the L'Anguille River as an impaired watershed due to agricultural runoff and excessive siltation in recent years.
