Rivers

A river is a substantial natural watercourse that flows through a defined channel toward another river, lake, wetland, sea, or inland basin. Its system may include tributaries, distributaries, floodplains, seasonal reaches, gorges, waterfalls, and deltas far beyond any single mapped park relationship. The distinction from a stream depends on local convention, scale, and source usage rather than one universal rule.

Streams

A stream is a natural flowing watercourse contained within a channel, generally smaller than a river but defined primarily by local naming and hydrological context. Streams may be perennial, seasonal, intermittent, spring-fed, glacial, or ephemeral and often form tributaries within larger drainage networks. No universal width or discharge threshold cleanly separates a stream from a river.

Peninsulas

A peninsula is a projection of land surrounded by water on most sides while remaining connected to a larger mainland or island. It can range from a small coastal spur to a large regional landmass and may be shaped by erosion, deposition, tectonics, volcanism, or changing water levels. The category describes the land-water configuration and does not require a narrow isthmus or a particular geological origin.
