The South Fork Spring River (commonly South Fork of the Spring River or simply South Fork River) is a tributary of the Spring River, roughly 75 mi (121 km) long,[2] in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas in the United States. The river flows through the Salem Plateau of the Ozarks[2] and it is part of the Spring River Tributaries Watershed.
The South Fork rises in Howell County northeast of the unincorporated community of South Fork and southwest of West Plains.[4] The river flows generally southeast from Howell County through Fulton County before joining with the Spring River in Sharp County west of Hardy.[5]
