Best Answer

The speed of the Mississippi River varies depending on the location at which it is measured. At the headwaters, the flow is about 1.2 miles per hour. In New Orleans, far downriver from the headwaters, the river flows at about 3 miles per hour. For comparison, most people walk at about 3 to 3.5 miles per hour.
