Believe it or not, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reckons that the Missouri River is longer than the Mississippi.

The longest in the United States (and North America), the Missouri River is some 200 miles (322 km) longer than the Mississippi River. The total length of the Missouri from source to mouth is 2,540 miles (4,088 km).
