The Missisippi River is the second longest river in the United States, with total length of about 3770 km. It origins in Lake Itasca in Minnesota and flows mainly north-south through the heart of the country and empties itself in the Gulf of Mexico. With the Missoury, it forms the World's fourth longest river system.
