Worlds Shortest River is in Montana
Well this is a fun fact to impress your friends with! The worlds shortest river is in Montana.
This river in the Big Sky state holds the are cord in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the shortest river in the world. The Roe River, which oddly enough was my grandmas married last name...Roe. This waterway is only 201 feet long. It is located close to Great Falls.
This river was unnamed and so a group of students petitioned the United States Board on Geographic Names. Interestingly enough Dallas Neil went to school in that area and later played in the NFL and helped the the efforts by appearing on one of the late night shows as a student at the school.
I did read that Guinness Record Books may have eliminated the "shortest river" category.... darn!
