The Sacramento (447 miles long) and the San Joaquin Rivers (330 miles long) are the first and second longest rivers running entirely within California. The California Aqueduct (443 miles long) is a man-made canal that, if it were considered a river, would be the second longest river running entirely within California and make the San Joaquin the third longest river running entirely within California. Whoever wrote that the Columbia and the Colorado Rivers were the answer to this question was mistaken.

Is central valley the largest valley in California?

California's Central Valley is a large, flat valley that dominates the central portion of California. It is home to California's most productive agricultural areas. The valley stretches approximately 450 miles (720 km) from northwest to southeast inland and parallel to the Pacific Ocean coast. Its northern half is referred to as the Sacramento Valley, and its southern half as the San Joaquin Valley.[1] The Sacramento valley receives about 20 inches of rain annually, but the San Joaquin is very dry, often semi-arid desert in many places.The two halves meet at the huge Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, which along with their tributaries drain the majority of the valley. The Delta is a large expanse of interconnected canals, streambeds, sloughs, marshes and peat islands. The Central Valley covers an area of approximately 22,500 square miles (58,000 km2), making it slightly smaller than the state of West Virginia and about 13.7% of California's total area.
