Apishapa River is a 139-mile-long (224 km)[2] tributary of the Arkansas River that flows from a source near West Spanish Peak in southern Colorado. It joins the Arkansas east of Fowler, Colorado. A U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) station, #07119500, located along this river near Fowler measures the river's discharge. [3]

The water level and salinity of the Apishapa River is monitored by gaging stations installed at three locations along the headwaters of the river in 2007. [4]
