Roe River
The Roe River, which runs between the Missouri River and Giant Springs near Great Falls, Montana, is claimed to be the shortest river in the world. It is about 201 feet (61 meters) long and is recognized by the Guinness Book of Records.
The push to get Roe River recognized came mainly from students at Lincoln elementary school in Great Falls, Montana. This included an appearance on the Tonight Show, featuring students Molly Petersen and later professional football player Dallas Neil.
The same claim is made of Oregon's D River.
