Seriously? You obviously don't understand what the term "landlocked" means. The Great Salt Lake isn't connected to the ocean and is therefore landlocked.
If you go back and read the title, it says that it is including rivers and lakes.
This thread is kinda confusing to me in regards to everyones definition of "landlocked". I would think a city like San Francisco would be considered landlocked simply because it's sits on a peninsula and it's approximately 13 X 9 miles in area and can only really grow upwardly instead of out because 3 sides of it are surrounded by water. This thread is referring to city proper not metro areas, right? Besides, SF shares it's metro area with 2 other major cities... I dunno, maybe Im missing something
That Atlantic doesn't really count. It's 332 miles to the clear blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico on the Florida panhandle. The only reason why I would make a trip to the Atlantic was if I were desperate
Hahaha.
Turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico at the Panhandle trump the Atlantic Ocean any day of the week and twice on Sundays. BTW, why is Tallahassee FL even on this list?
It's pretty clear that the most landlocked MAJOR U.S. city is Denver. However, for mountain recreation aficionados who don't need a salt-water body of water nearby, they could survive. The Platte River going through Denver is pretty dismal.
Julian H, a landlocked city is a city whose limits does not border a large body of water, And all I know is that the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplotian area is the biggest Landlocked metroplex in the USA, I thought Pheonix was the largest landlocked city? Or was it the largest city without any bodies of water? Meh I will Google that later lol
dallas hands down, the others really arent major cities, yes even atlanta. Its a regional power in the se excluding fla.
stop it!!!
