World’s Shortest River: The world’s shortest river, it takes a few hours to go from one end to the other! Have you heard the name?

There are many such rivers in India which are so huge that it will take you many days to reach from their origin to the end. Major rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Brahmaputra, Narmada, Godavari are the pride of India. But none of these rivers is neither the largest nor the smallest in the world. Talking about the largest river, it is the Nile River present in Africa (many experts call the Amazon River as the largest river, but this title is officially named after Nile). You must have heard about it. But have you ever heard about the world’s shortest river? Today we are going to give you information about this river.

The world’s shortest river flows in the US state of Montana (USA). The Missouri River also flows here, which is considered to be the longest river in America. Very close to this river, this small river flows which we are discussing today. The name of this river is Roe River (Roe River, Montana). In the 1980s, Lincoln School Elementary teacher Susan Nardinger and her fifth grade students launched a campaign together to get the Roe River recognized by the Guinness World Records as the shortest river in the world.

Competition for the shortest river in the world
From the year 1989 to 2000, this river got this status. Earlier this title was with D River located in Oregon. The length of D River was only 440 feet. Whereas Ro River was much smaller than this. People started such a competition between Ro River and Dee River that the Guinness World Record stopped giving this title. But till date the Ro river remains the smallest river.

what is the length of the river
Now the question arises that how small is the Roe river. This river is only 201 feet (61 meters) long. Now you must have understood why we are saying that the beginning and end of this river can easily be covered in a few hours. The water of the river goes ahead and joins the Missouri River. All the water in the river comes from the Little Belt Mountain Range and this river is made of underground spring.
