The Missouri River Is Montana's Longest River

It's 2,340 miles in length and starts near Three Forks, named as such because it's where the Gallatin, Madison, and Jefferson Rivers all meet to form the Missouri River.

Those 3 rivers, while very important to the size of the Missouri, won't be one of the 10 longest rivers in Montana.

So how long is the Missouri? Well, it's the longest river in America and when combined with the Mississippi River it is the 4th longest river in the world.
