The Current River is roughly 184 miles (296 km) long and drains about 2,641 square miles (6,840 km 2) [4] of land mostly in Missouri and a small portion of land in northeastern Arkansas. The headwaters of the Current River are nearly 900 feet (270 m) above sea level, while the mouth of the river lies around 280 feet (85 m) [ 4 ] above sea level.
River miles are used in a variety of ways. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in its 2001 Pennsylvania Gazetteer of Streams, lists every named stream and every unnamed stream in a named geographic feature in the state, and gives the drainage basin area, mouth coordinates, and river mile, specifically the distance from the mouth of the tributary to the mouth of its parent stream.

This projection shows the lines of longitude as parallel.
Constrained by dikes, the channel is about one-third as wide as the lower Willamette main stem. [3] U.S. Route 30 and tracks of the Burlington Northern Railroad run roughly parallel to the channel, and to its left, between its source and the Multnomah–Columbia county border at about the channel's river mile (RM) 12.5 or river kilometer (RK) 20.1.
The river flows into the Spring River southwest of Pocahontas near the small town of Black Rock. In 1968 a 44.4-mile (71.5 km) stretch was named the Eleven Point National Wild and Scenic River, one of the original eight rivers chosen to be part of the United States National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
At mile-marker 169.9 (McBaine), the trail intersects the MKT Trail, which leads into downtown Columbia, the largest city along the trail. The Katy trail then deviates from the rail route, crossing the Missouri River at Boonville on the Boonslick Bridge instead of the original MKT Bridge, then running to its terminus in Clinton at mile-marker 264.6.
