About Roe River

The Roe River runs from Giant Springs to the Missouri River near Great Falls, Montana, United States. The Roe River is only 201 feet (61 m) long at its longest constant point, and had been named as the World's Shortest River by the Guinness Book of World Records before Guinness eliminated the category in 2006. Towards its mouth, the Roe is about 6–8 feet (1.8–2.4 m) deep.

There was basically the argument between two rivers in America, the Roe River and the D River, about which was the shortest. The Guinness Book of Records had always said that the D River was the shortest.

Other times Roe River came up

  1. The people who lived near the D River were furious because they'd lost their records of these bloody school kids. Okay. This was in Lincoln City. There was the Chamber of Commerce in Lincoln City said that this Roe River was nothing more than a drainage ditch surveyed for a school project. One man's drainage ditch is another man's noble river. I think that's one way of looking at it.
