What is/are the names of the streams/rivers nearby where you live?

I am a stone's throw from Swan Creek which flows into the Maumee River about five minutes drive from my house.

    The closest stream would be Minnehaha Creek. The Minnesota River and the Mississippi River are not very far from me.

    Arizona has rivers and creeks. Rivers usually don't have water in them. Creeks usually do. It is said that if you drink from the Hassayampa River you will never tell the truth again. That is likely true, since the Hassayampa is a dry river. The Colorado is one river that does have water all the time. It is the north border of Yuma, AZ and the south border of Winterhaven, CA.

    Yuma and Winterhaven were each preceded by a few communities with different names, all within a mile of each other. The predecessors were all washed away by floods, and even after the name Yuma was adopted, the town was demolished several times. The Colorado used to be VERY hard to get along with. Now the people drink it and it is reduced to a ditch a little bit south of Yuma.

    Nanoose creek runs threw our yard - it's glacier feed so it's always cold even in the sumer you can't put your foot in in for more then a minute. On the other side of me (about a mile away) there is the Straight of Georgia it's feed by the Pacific ocean. Cheers!

  • I live right next to the Cumberland River. It's pretty much in spitting distance.

    The Long Island Sound is not far away, the Hudson River, Newtown Creek - that's about it.

  • Hopping Dick Creek, Tyalgum Creek, Oxley River and the Tweed River, NSW, Australia.

    Hard to show because the creeks vary so much depending on rainfall.
    One day I can swim in a rocky waterhole surrounded by rainforest,
    the next week it might be a raging torrent that can sweep away and drown a herd of cattle.

  • I lived near the Yadkin Pee Dee River in North Carolina for quite some time. That river expands across a good portion of our incredible state. Beautiful isn't it?
