re: What is the greatest Southern United States river?

The Wando river in SC is a key river for sea line ports.

Setting commerce aside, Current River in southern MO and Buffalo River NWA. Recommend anyone anywhere to visit both. Two amazing places

Been kayaking here and it’s stunning. It’s easy to forget you’re still in the South and not somewhere out west

I’m partial to the Cahaba River. Runs right through the backside of our property.

Cool Cahaba River facts.
Longest free flowing river in Alabama. No Dams.

The waters of the Cahaba are home to more than 131 species of freshwater fishes (18 of which have been found in no other river system), 40 species of mussels, and 35 species of snails. The river has more fish species than can be found[ in all bodies of water in California.

Pics?

There’s the Mighty Mississippi River and everything else is a tributary.

Not true. There are at least two dams. One at 280 and another close to Caldwell Mill.

Apalachicola Starts at the confluence of the chattahoochee and flint rivers just above woodruff dam at lake Seminole. The chattahoochee is 200 miles long and the flint over 100 when the meet to make the apalachcola. They drain the southern appachian mountains and the piedmont of Georgia west of the eastern continental divide and formed Baja Georgia which is erroneously referred to as Florida by uncouth types

Oconee River starts just north of Athens and feeds the Altamaha. The Ocmulgee River starts just south and east of Atlanta. The Altamaha has never been damned making it one of the largest free flowing rivers left on earth.
