The central section of the river has clear to murky water with long slower moving pools interrupted by short stretches of fast water. The lower section is sluggish with murky water. The L'Aigle Creek (Saline River of the Ouachita River) connects to the Saline River near where the Saline River connects to the Ouachita River. During parts of the year the lower stretches of the river can be somewhat clogged with brush or trees. After the merge of the three forks the river flattens and travels through Grant, Cleveland, Bradley, and Ashley counties. The river reaches its confluence with the Ouachita River in the marshy area north of Lake Jack Lee within the Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge.[5] The Saline is relatively free of development. The river runs through dense forests which are home to bear, deer, mink, otters, beaver, muskrats, turkey, squirrel as well as alligators in southern sections of the river. The river provides excellent fishing, scenery, and wilderness floating. Smallmouth, largemouth, rock bass, and spotted bass as well as warmouth, longear, green sunfish, bluegills, channel catfish, and crappie inhabit the river. Picknicking and swimming facilities are available at Jenkins' Ferry Historical Monument south of Sheridan which commemorates the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry during the American Civil War. See also
