What is the fastest flowing river in North America?

Answer 1

It's hard to pick three.

The US river system is the Mississippi (and tributaries, including the Missouri and the Illinois and the Ohio and the Arkansas and and and). It's certainly got to be one of the three.

Now, though... it gets harder. There's the Colorado, the Columbia, the Rio Grande (slightly more than half of which is actually on the US-Mexico border), the St. Lawrence (most of which is in Canada, though for part of its course it forms the border between Canada and the US), the Hudson, the Savannah, the Susquehannah, the Connecticut, the Yukon... pick two. In terms of volume, and only counting those rivers that actually discharge into the ocean, it's the Columbia and the St. Lawrence... if you want to disqualify the St. Lawrence as being primarily a Canadian river rather than a US one, then replace it with the Yukon (also partly Canadian, but it does flow through a substantial portion of Alaska also).

Answer 2

There are several rivers in the United States. The threes longest of these are the Missouri River at 2,540 miles, the Mississippi River at 2,340 miles, and the Yukon at 1,980 miles.

Answer 3

Three important rivers in the US are the Mississippi, the Missouri, and the Rio Grande.

Answer 4

I know the Mississippi is really big, so that's one, I'm guessing the Colorado River and I don't know of a third.

Answer 5

I will guess the Merced River in central California, but I would like to be proven wrong.

Answer 6

The Coosa River. It's elevation drops 400 ft in 400 miles.
