Fun little site answers that burning question of “if I put in here and go downstream, how far can I go?”

Kind of cool. WIsh I could figure out how to slow down the raindrop’s “flow” so I can see the map with more time and details.

All rivers run to the sea, but to be practical, it needs to show danger zones, obstructions, unnavigable sections, dams . . .
At the end of movie (fast forward) it zooms out and you can see the route. Then you can zoom in to your heart’s content.
I noticed it goes down the center of bodies of water instead of the talweg.
There are plenty of Great Basin rivers that never make it to the sea.
Plenty is a bold word. Although they may start out strong they . . . Evaporate!
There are quite a few, but I suspect many aren’t runnable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_of_the_Great_Basin

Water drops can go places people can’t.
We had a canoe club member that wanted to paddle the length of McGirts Creek aka Ortega River. He started at a point up stream and struggled over the winding ditch and dead fall. Something like one mile/ four hours. Never made it.
