Characteristics of the River

“The Mississippi River offers three distinct sections. In the river’s uppermost reaches, the river is narrow and winding … Below Minneapolis/St. Paul, the river becomes a series of pools formed by 33 locks & dams stretching southward … Below the last lock and dam in Granite City, Illinois, (St Louis) the Mississippi River flows dam-free to the Gulf of Mexico. The river is wide at this point and backwaters, sloughs and side channels are plentiful. ” Great River Road: Canoeing & Kayaking

For another way of dividing the river and how the two match up, see Part Five.
