[edit] Entire River

The map pictured doesn't show the ENTIRE Yellowstone River; I think that should be noted.

[edit] Longest Undammed River

I'm pretty sure that the Yellowstone River is the longest undammed river in the lower 48, but the Salmon River (Idaho) claims this as well. It seems like 1/2 the Google results show the Salmon, and half show the Yellowstone. Nationalparks 05:05, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Now the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area claims the Delaware River as the longest undammed. Nationalparks 19:24, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

There is a fairly large dam on the Yellowstone River located near Glendive, Montana that probably diqualifies the Yellowstone from the "Longest Undammed River" competition. The "Yellowstone Diversion Dam" blocks all upstream fish migration and diverts a substantial amount of the river for irrigation. Idaho usually claims the Salmon River as the "longest undammed river" and the "longest river entirely within one state," I don't think the Delaware is even in the top 20. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 161.55.220.32 (talk • contribs).
