What rivers have you crossed in your life?

Styx

If you are talking about the Charles Bridge in Prague, the river is the Vltava.

Yeah, done that one too. Many times. Also the Aare in Bern, Switzerland.

Mississippi and pretty much every river between it and the Atlantic, also every river on the Gulf Coast between it and Houston.

I once illegally swam into Mexico from Big Bend, so I guess I can cross the Rio Grande off the list :wink:

Merrimack (NH, MA) many, many times.
Pemigewassett (NH)
Winnipesaukee (NH)
Salmon Falls (NH, ME)
Piscataquog (NH) Many times

River crossings others have not posted yet

Magadalena (Colombia)
Rio Otún (Colombia)

Holston (TN - major tributary of the Tennessee River)
French Broad (NC - joins the Holston to form the Tennessee River)

Avon derives from the ancient British word for river; * abona*, so you’ve crossed the River River.

Carry on.

As I’ve been in every state of the union except MS and AL, I think I must have crossed ever major river in the US except any Alaskan rivers outside the panhandle. I’ve also crossed the Vancouver River and the Fraser River in BC and the St Lawrence and Niagara Rivers in Ontario. I must have crossed every river in Newfoundland (excluding Labrador), but I don’t recall any major rivers there.

In Europe I’ve crossed, the Thames, the Seine, the Tiber, the Danube, and any rivers you’d cross on a train from Paris to Copenhagen, Malmo to Stockholm, or Stockholm to Bergen through Oslo.

I’m sure there are a few major ones I missed.

Yeah, me too.
The only ones I thought were important was the first time I crossed the Mississippi and the first time I went under the Hudson. (Lincoln Tunnel when I moved to NYC.

Many many. There is a creek in Southern Germany called Donaueschingen that is, I have always assumed the source of the Danube, so I can count that.

and, in the ante-google days, I walked halfway across the Golden Gate bridge–and back–in the company of Sergei Brin. Just thought I’d add that.
