Rivers with unusual names

 Rivers often carry names that are deeply rooted to their local history, geography and cultural traditions.

I have listed down the rivers with unique and unusual names. 

1.  Boiling river , Peru

                          This river is known for its scalding water, hot enough to cause serious burns. The intense heat is due to geothermal activities beneath the surface.

2.  Crooked river, United States of America

                           This river is known for its winding and serpentine path like a crooked line.

3.  Frying pan river, United States of America

                             This river got its name from a tale where frying pan is involved.

4. Laughing water creek , United States of America

                             It has got its name from the joyful sound of its bubbling waters.

5. Licklog creek, Georgia 

                            It has got its name from the animals frequently coming here to lick the salt found on logs.

6.  River of no return,  United States of America 

                             It has got its name from treacherous currents, which has made it nearly impossible to navigate upstream.
