Canadas længste floder

Mackenzie River er den længste flod i Canada hvis man regner den fra udmundingen Beauforthavet til en af de øvre bifloder Finlay River i Rocky Mountains i det nordlige British Columbia. Hovedstrømmen, som er en væsentlig kortere del af Mackenzie, er fremhævet.

Blandt Canadas længste floder er der 47 som er over 600 km lange. Ni af disse floder krydser internationale grænser, eller danner dem. Fire — Yukon, Columbia, Porcupine og Kootenay — begynder i Canada og løber ind i USA. Fem — Milk, Pend d'Oreille, Saint Lawrence, Red og Saint John — begynder i USA og løber ind i Canada. Af disse krydser Milk og Kootenay grænsen to gange.[1] Afvandingsområdet for disse ni floder ligger i begge lande; Dertil ligger en del af afvandingsområdet for yderligere seks floder — Fraser, Assiniboine, South Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, Nelson og Winnipeg — i USA, selv om hele deres hovedløb ligger i Canada.

Den primære kilde for data i listen er The Atlas of Canada. Vandføringen gælder for flodens udmunding med mindre andet er anført.

River is not entirely within Canada. Floden løber ikke udelukkende i Canada.
