Water Sources
The Arkansas River flows over 1400 miles. It starts with snowpack formed high in the Rocky Mountains around Leadville, Colorado and streams into Arkansas before joining the Mississippi River. This powerful river cuts through Witt’s Rio Vista Ranch where it sits a couple of miles from Lamar. So, the fishing is good spring, summer and fall. Perfect for your catfish fry or elegant trout dinners. 
The farmland portion of Witt’s Rio Vista Ranch takes advantage of the existing water rights and fertile soils. Two sources of water help with irrigation. One is 40 shares of water from the Amity Mutual Irrigation Company, which is one share per irrigated acre. The next is an irrigation well that pumps about 800 gpm. Plus 20 shares of LAWMA/Lower Arkansas Water Management Association, with a share allowing the pumping of one consumptive acre foot of water.
Improvements can be separated from the river bottom/farmland.
