Well....... It depends. If the river is really big and wide, and there are hardly any plants growing in it, and there are no rocks and the river is on a plain, then it will probably flow really fast. If the river is atiny little stream in the mountains, then it will probably flow slower. It all depends on the river
You are more likely to see a river in a plain region. Rivers typically originate from higher elevations, such as mountains, and flow downhill into lower-lying areas like plains. While rivers can exist in both mountain and plain regions, they are more prevalent and prominent in plain regions due to the flatter terrain that allows for slower and more meandering flow.

Normally a lake does not flow: that is what distinguishes a lake from a stream or river.
The Yellow River and Yangtze River. -Abir
When a river floods it water will flow faster then the normal speed.
The Nile river flows from south to north and no it is not the only river that goes northward. Other rivers that flow northward include the Red River (North Dakota), the Lena River (Russia), and the Shennandoah River (Virginia). +++ Most of the major Russian rivers flow North, because the Siberian Plain tilts very gently down to the North, and is fringed by mountains all along its Southern side.
The Indus River originates from the Himalaya Mountains. Once it goes through the mountains, it empties into the Arabian Sea.
Several rivers originate in the Appalachian Mountains and flow into the Ohio River, including the Kanawha River in West Virginia and the Scioto River in Ohio. These rivers contribute to the Ohio River's watershed, draining various regions of the Appalachians. The geography of the Appalachian Mountains plays a significant role in shaping the flow patterns of these tributaries.
The altitude of a mountain makes the water flow down faster while a flat plain lets the water just sit there.
The source is most likely to be in the mountains because water can't flow downhill.
