Saint Joseph River (of Lake Michigan)

One just isn't enough, so there are two rivers in Indiana named the Saint Joseph River. The story is that the duplicate name is because an early French explorer portaged between the two, but thought he was just shortcutting some meanders.

The Indiana USCA holds several canoe races on the St Joseph River.
