re: What is the greatest Southern United States river?

An old joke that still applies..

Why does the St. John’s river flow north through Jacksonville? Because UGA sucks…..

A little tidbit of trivia about it

quote:

---

The St. Johns — one of the few rivers in the United States that flows north — is one of the laziest rivers in the world. From its source in the marshes south of Melbourne to its mouth in Mayport, the river drops a total of less than 30 feet — or about one inch per mile.
