No, because a river always has a source, and as you get closer to it, the river is blocked by locks, dams, or channels. More than 2000 miles of the Mississippi is used by barges, ships, and boats of many sizes, along a winding path from Minneapolis to New Orleans (1600 miles apart) and out into the delta.

The navigable area of the river extends from Coon Rapids near Minneapolis to the mouth of the river in the Gulf of Mexico, about 95% of the north-south extent of the contiguous states. The upper 350 miles, from Lake Itasca to Coon Rapids, is not maintained at a navigable depth.

Also, you would have to use extreme caution to stay out of the way of large barges and other boats because (1) they would have trouble seeing a small boat and (2) it takes them a long time to stop or change distance so they can't avoid you, you would have to avoid them. Finally, you would have to figure out how to get through the many locks on the river. You could carry a canoe around them and might be able to get special permission to go through, but I'm not sure.

∙ 9y agoYes, you can legally swim in the Mississippi River. However, you can only swim in swimming designated areas. This is because other areas may be unsafe to swim in.
