The Mississippi River starts at at Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota. It flows 3770 km from there to its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico . The Mississippi ranks as the second longest river in the United States. This river has played a great role in the history of the US. Goods, livestock, etc. could be shipped from the East over the Ohio River, traveling to the Mississippi River. From there, items went north or south to be sold. Once the ships reached the Gulf of Mexico, goods and wares could be shipped back across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe. Passengers traveling the Ohio River to the Mississippi could go North, West, or South with a fair amount of ease along the Mississippi River. The Mississippi River has seen over its history canoes, flat boats, ferries, tugs, steamers, paddle boats, up to today's cargo ships aided by multiple tugs, and passenger cruise ships.
It rises in Northern Minnesota, flows roughly south for 2530 miles and empties into the Gulf of Mexico
