Jordan river

Additional information:
The Jordan River exists in 3 sections, beginning in the north:
1] From its multiple river sources (the Bareighit, the Hasbany from Mount Hermon, the Leddan, the Banias) to Lake Huleh;
2] Lake Huleh to the Sea Of Galilee in Galilee, about 10 miles (16 km);
3] From the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea, in a straight line, about 65 miles (105 km). Due to its winding course, the river itself actually measures nearly 200 miles (325 km), over twice the straight line distance.  (see map)
