D河

D河嘅地理位置

D河（英文：D River）係美國柯利近省林肯城嘅一條河。雖然話呢條河係林肯城入面嘅一條未改名嘅河，但係唔講都冇人知嘅係，呢條河喺1989年—2006年之間，俾健力士世界紀錄大全列為世界上最短嘅河流^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]。而佢根據健力士世界紀錄大全寫嘅世界上最短嘅河流紀錄話，佢凈係得37米到。

雖然話喺1989年嘅健力士世界紀錄大全寫咗話130m長嘅羅河（英文：Roe River）係世界上最短嘅河流記錄，但諗唔到嘅係喺嗰年就俾D河提報咗，結果D河變成世界上最短嘅河流紀錄^[5]。喺2006年嘅健力士世界紀錄大全就唔列世界上最短嘅河流記錄。

名

D河邊嘅一嚿話有寫入世界紀錄嘅綠底白字牌。上面啲字嘅粵語翻譯係「D河係世界最短嘅河」。

D河嘅下游入海口（太平洋邊）附近

呢條河係因為1940年嘅當地改河名嘅大龍鳳而贏咗先至改成噉嘅名^[6]。

敘述

呢條河係從爹域斯湖開始，跟住美國101高速嚟行，之後流入太平洋，全長得37米，比國際標準嘅游水池嘅五分之四長度重短。而佢嘅流域範圍凈係限喺林肯城入面，就喺D河國家公園出面嘅101高速附近，嗰度係春天同秋天嗰時辦嘅世界上最大嘅紙夭節所在地^[1]。

附近嘅鄉下

喺1965年嗰時，林肯城入面嘅爹域斯湖區域先至正式有村落入嚟。而呢條河就俾人改咗包括「出海口」呢啲好多好似噉嘅名，最後重整咗一個好短嘅名出嚟^[6]。
