The longest river is the Mississippi River, and the longest combination is the Mississippi-Missouri River. The Missouri crosses the central US before joining the Mississippi at St Louis.
The Mississippi itself from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico is 3779 km (2348 miles) long.
The entire Mississippi-Missouri combination, measured from Brower's Creek in Montana to the Gulf, is a continuous waterway more than 6027 km (3745 miles) in length.
The Mississippi-Missouri River ranks as the fourth longest river in the world and the longest on the continent of North America. It is 3,600+ miles long.
The Mississippi River starts in Northern Minnesota at Itasca State Park. The headwaters come out of Lake Itasca and there is a line of boulders going across the entry point.
The river passes alongside many cities and through many states on its long journey; some of which include Memphis, St. Louis, and Baton Rouge. The river then dumps itself out into the ocean in New Orleans.
The Mississippi is 'joined' by the Missouri just north of St. Louis. Of course, one could easily argue that the Mississippi joins the Missouri. The Mississippi gets its name from French explorers who came down from Canada. The name comes from an Ojibwa word for falling water. If the explorers had come east from Oregon, they might have encountered the Missouri first, and the river would be named the Missouri all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
The longest section of river in North America with one name is the Missouri, so we could say that is the longest river. But, the Missouri has several tributaries. The longest tributary of the Missouri River is the Jefferson River, whose longest tributary is the Beaverhead River, whose longest tributary is the Red Rock River. The Red Rock is fed by Hellroaring Creek.
Therefore, using what we call the 'longest branch criterion', I say that the longest river is the Mississippi-Missouri-Jefferson-Beaverhead-Red Rock-Hellroaring.
North American has several rivers. The five longest rivers are the Missouri at 2,540 miles, the Mississippi at 2,340 miles, the Yukon at 1,980 miles, the Rio Grande at 1,900 miles, and the St. Lawrence at 1,900 miles.
