A journey down the Mississippi River is a voyage through one of the largest countries in the world, the United States of America. We travel the entire 3,780 kilometres, from the glacial lakes in the north to the vast delta in the south.
For centuries the Mississippi has been used for trade, communication and warfare. It is still one of the busiest cargo routes in America. It has inspired poets, writers and singers, and its beauty attracts many tourists. As we follow this journey we will learn more about the people and places that line this might river.
