The White River is a small river in the southern San Joaquin Valley of the U.S. state of California. The river is long and flows entirely within Tulare County. It rises at roughly above sea level in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada on the northwest slope of Bull Run Peak. It flows west, receiving several seasonal tributaries including Arrastre Creek, Coarse Gold Creek and Coho Creek, passing the small settlement of White River. As it nears the border of Tulare County and Kern County its surface flow disappears. The dry riverbed continues northwest into the agricultural San Joaquin Valley and is diverted into canals for flood control and irrigation purposes. The river terminates about north of Delano, short of the historic Tulare Lake.
