Term: MIDDLE OF THE RIVER
Definition: The middle of the river is the point in the middle of the river where the water flows the strongest. It's the point that's exactly in the middle of the river, between the two banks on either side. It's also called the mid-channel or the middle line of the main channel.
Definition: The equidistant point in the main channel of the river between the well-defined banks on either shore; the middle thread of a river's current. It is also known as mid-channel or middle line of main channel.
These examples illustrate that the middle of the river is the area between the two banks where the water flows in a straight line. It is important to stay in the middle of the river to avoid getting too close to the banks where there may be hazards such as rocks or strong currents.
