Tensas River

The Tensas River is a river in Louisiana in the United States. The river begins in East Carroll parish in the north-east corner of the state and runs roughly south-west for 400km more or less in parallel with the Ouachita River. The two rivers merge in Jonesville, Catahoula parish to become the Black River.

For the 20 mouth south of Interstate 20 between Delhi and Tallulah, the river winds its way through the Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1980 "for the preservation and development of environmental resources" around the river.
