The North Fork Smoky Hill River is a river in the central Great Plains of North America. A tributary of the Smoky Hill River, it flows from eastern Colorado into western Kansas.[2][3]

Geography

The North Fork Smoky Hill River rises in the High Plains region of the Great Plains.[2] Its source lies in extreme northern Cheyenne County, Colorado {{convert|29|mi|km}} west-northwest of Cheyenne Wells, the county seat. From there, the river flows east then east-northeast into Kansas.[3] In south-central Sherman County, it has been dammed to form a small reservoir, Sherman State Fishing Lake.[4][5] A few miles east of the reservoir, the river turns southeast and continues to its confluence with the Smoky Hill River in central Logan County {{convert|5|mi|km}} west of Russell Springs.[6]

The river has a total length of {{convert|195|mi|km}} and drains an area of {{convert|759|sqmi|km2}}.[7]

Hydrology

The river is intermittent with water flowing only during and after rains.[8]
