There's a creek like this in Canada called the Divide Creek. After following the Continental Divide for a bit, one side drains through the Bow River and heads toward Hudson Bay while the other side drains west to the Pacific via the Kicking Horse River.
But if you go to Triple Divide Peak at Glacier National Park in Montana, you can see the water that falls at the summit can go in THREE different directions, to the Arctic Ocean (via Hudson Bay), the Pacific, and the Atlantic (Gulf of Mexico)! This is what I love about geography, you never run out of new things to check out about our planet

I’ve known of Two Oceans Creek for years and it has been a long time entry on my bucket list of things to see someday. Thanks for covering this extremely interesting geographic feature. And biologists suspect fish have already crossed Two Oceans Pass because of the presence of the famous cutthroat trout in the Yellowstone River since cutthroat trout are indigenous to the West Coast and the Columbia River drainage but not the Missouri River system....

Interesting "part" of the Great Basin is Goose Lake a huge shallow lake on the border of Southern Oregon and NE California, the interesting thing is when the lake reaches a certain level in very wet years it has a outflow that flows into a small river that flows into the Sacramento River and into the Pacific so that area then is no longer part of the Great Basin. Another interesting fact about that region is a tiny corner of Northern Nevada in the Jarbridge area streams flow into a couple of small rivers that flow into the Snake then into the Columbia then into the Pacific and salmon swim all the way to those headwaters in Nevada so desert basin Nevada has salmon.

Hi, saw this and thought I would comment on Two Ocean Pass since I've been there numerous times. I worked for an outfitter out of Moran, WY. for a couple of years. We would take wilderness horse pack trips into the wilderness just south of the Southeast Arm of Yellowstone Lake. To get there we would travel up Pacific Creek and cross Two Ocean Pass. This route has been used for centuries to cross the divide and both sides of the long grassy meadow that constitutes the pass are lined with numerous ruts and trails. Some quite deep. The willow-lined creek meanders down the middle of the meadow. Pine covered mountains rise gradually on either side. On the Northwest side rises Two Ocean Plateau. Two Ocean creek originates on this plateau, runs for a couple of miles through a small narrow canyon and empties into the meadow. Just before the creek meets the meadow, at the mouth of the canyon, it hits a large boulder and splits in two. We called it "the parting of the waters" and it was a regular rest stop for our trips. The guests would revel in its novelty and beauty, and of course, pose for lots of pictures. We would continue down the meadow along Atlantic Creek, dropping down to where it joined the Upper Yellowstone River and into the Yellowstone Meadows. Of course, we would stop again on our return trip. It is truly a unique place and I can testify that it begins as one stream of water, hits a rock and splits into two streams.

Cool stuff. Actually the river Danube in Europe does kind of the same thing, but rather than splitting into two creeks, it partially sinks into the ground, flows underground in caves where it crosses the continental divide (which, by itself, is quite extraordinary if you consider that it is impossible by definition) and emerges as a different creek that flows into the river Rhine that ends up in the North Sea.

Very interesting. The same thing happens in Southern Argentina where the "Arroyo Partido"(Split Creek) drains as far as Buenos Aires province to the Atlantic and the city of Valdivia in the pacific through the chilean lake district. Greetings from Chile

Fascinating, it's somewhat similar to the cassiquiare channel in Venezuela, its a natural channel that connects the Orinoco and Amazonian River Basins its also flows both ways, but in its case its technically navigable, so theoretically someone could navigate from Canada to Bolivia only using fluvial navigation (altrough you would need to pass in the carribean sea)

Iv always seen the great Mississippi river as a large river that at some points close to the gulf it is a couple miles wide. When I visited Minnesota I was able to travel up the Mississippi close to the mouth. The closer I got the small the river got. It was interesting to see, eventually you make it to the mouth of the river that comes from a lake, and it's just a stream that a person can step across. So it is possible to step across the Mississippi river.

This is so interesting; I had never realized how our Continental Divide relates to the other continents', where there are continental divides for oceanic watersheds around the world

Where I live in Wisconsin, there's a marsh only about 15 miles from me where one side goes to the Great Lakes (and then the Atlantic) and the other out to a small river, then the Wisconsin River, the Mississippi, then the Gulf. Most people here don't even stop to think about a continental divide being right outside of town.

I wonder if someday some robotics hobbyist with a lot of money and free time will build some kind of robot fish to actually make that journey from Astoria to New Orleans.

I just recently visited Athabasca falls by Jasper, Canada and found it very interesting that the small river flows from there to the Arctic. I love this stuff!👌

Glad you included Isa Lake in this; I always liked it. There's a roadside pullout at the lake, too, for tourists to get out, enjoy the scenery, and take lots of purty pictures. (I grew up within Sunday picnic drive of Yellowstone, living as we did in Ennis and later Bozeman, so i saw these things a lot back then).
Always loved learning these things as a kid.
And the geography geek in me (I studied it for 4 yrs in university), loves knowing things like this. Just as I fell in love with a sign I saw while driving I-94 across North Dakota, saying "Port of Bismarck next exit". I knew intellectually that the Missouri was navigable to Great Falls MT, but seeing this sign in the middle of North Dakota really brought it home to me :-)

I-80 in Wyoming crosses the Continental Divide twice! I noticed this when I was driving it in 2019. I have a video of it on my channel (2K19 (EP 38). I didn't know that there were these other cool geographic features in Wyoming where all these waters split and flow into different ocean. Great content! Keep up the awesome work!

I moved to the bitterroot valley, western Montana. First thing I noticed was that the bitterroot river was flowing north. I was geeking out!

The backpack looks sick

A somewhat similar concept used to exist in Wisconsin. Basically before the dikes at Portage were built, the Wisconsin River would overflow when flooded into the Fox River. This would create an huge "island" (most of the Eastern USA) which part of the Wisconsin River would flow north to Green Bay then through the Great Lakes to the Upper Atlantic. But the south flow would go down to the Mississippi and the Gulf.

More on the continental divide! I really love learning about the quirks of America

My boss in Blacksburg, VA proclaimed that the water in his front yard went to the Gulf of Mexico, and water in the backyard went to the Atlantic Ocean!

We also have a small river in Switzerland which, at a place aptly named "Middle of the World", splits in two. One branch is going North to the Rhine river and the North Sea, the other one South to the Rhone and the Mediterranean.
