    Mississippi River is famous for being the second largest river in the United States being second only to the Missouri River which is actually a tributary of Mississippi River. It has a total length of 2340 miles or 3770 kilometers that is why its name means ‘great or big river’. The source from which the river comes out from is Lake Itasca which is in Clear Water County in Minnesota. The source is 450 meters above sea level. It flows down to the Gulf of Mexico where it drains into the ocean just 100 meters downstream from New Orleans. By volume it is the fifth largest river in the world as it drains almost 7000 to 20000 cubic feet per second into the ocean.
