There is a real problem with including the "Indian River" here. Also, the "Banana River"

There is a real problem with including the "Indian River" here. Also, the "Banana River". They are not river, for several different reason: A. They do not have fresh water in them, but rather, they contain saltwater. B. Neither one of them has a source or a mouth. In fact, there is not consistant flow of water in any given direction, and this is because the water level of their surfaces in sea level, so there is no gravitational force to make them flow. C. The Indian River and the Banana River are both actually lagoons. They are bodies of water that lie in between the mainland of Florida and the offshore barrier islands. This is complicated a little by the fact that the barrier island off the eastern coast of Brevard County, Florida actually attaches to the mainland north of Cape Canaveral. Thus, strictly speaking, you could consider that piece of land to be a very long, narrow peninsula, but that is neither here nor there: that offshore strip of land actually functions as a barrier island, and it was created by sand washed up by the ocean just like all of the other barrier islands of East Coast of the United States and of the Gulf Coast of the United States. D. The Indian River and the Banana River lie off the eastern and western shores of Merritt Island, Florida, in the Cape Canaveral area, but they merge at the southern tip of Merritt Island, and south of that the body of water is called the Indian River.

Not a problem at all. Coastal rivers (estuaries) are routinely included in Wikipedia lists of rivers, even throughout the rest of this Florida page.--Ken Gallager (talk) 13:52, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Rivers to add

Sisters Creek links to Australian river via redirect

The link for Sisters Creek, a tributary of the St. Johns in Jacksonville, is redirected to a Tasmanian river. It's unclear if there was ever an entry for the Florida tributary. Cellmaker (talk) 10:13, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
