I’ve been to the source of the Mississippi (in Minnesota), a small spring flowing out of the ground.

The Mississippi receives most of it’s flow from it’s major tributaries, the Missouri, the Ohio, the Arkansas, etc. all downstream from Minnesota.

Very interesting, I ever thought about where the Mississippi started.

I didn’t see the spring, but I did see the lake and even walked across the Mississippi at its source. But I didn’t walk on water, mind you.

Lake Itasca is no small spring.
