Chicago River
The Chicago River is 156 miles (251 km) long, and flows through downtown Chicago, Illinois. The river is not particularly long, but is notable for 19th-century civil engineering feats which directed its flow south, away from the city and towards the Mississippi River basin for sanitation purposes. The river is also noted for being dyed green on St. Patrick's Day.
