Rivers That Flow North
Unless the land it totally flat, rivers of water run downhill. The vast percentage of rivers on the planet flow in a southerly direction because the source (usually in the mountains) is to the north of the mouth.
If the source of a river is at a higher elevation than the mouth, that river will run from the source to the mouth. However, if that (higher) source is to the south of the mouth, that river will then flow to the north.
Below is a partial list of rivers (length listed when known) that flow north. We haven't listed rivers that run to the northwest, or rivers that don't meet the exact requirements.

There are countless examples of rivers flowing northward. Some of the most famous rivers that flow north include the world's longest Nile River, Russia's Ob, Lena, and Yenisey Rivers, the Red River in the United States and Canada, Canada's Mackenzie River, and California's San Joaquin River. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of additional rivers and streams that flow northward around the world.
No. Many of the longest rivers in the world flow noth, including the longest the Nile. Others include Yenisei_River, Angara_River, Selengaand Lena in Russia, and the Yukon in Alaska. Many huge Canadian rivers flow north too. the Seine and Rhine flow north in Europe.
Many rivers flow from south to north, but the most famous is the Nile.
In North America, rivers east of the Continental Divide flow into the ATLANTIC ocean.This was a Daily Geography question, wasn't it? ^^
Actually many rivers run north in North America. Water has no sense of direction. If flows downhill by gravity. Most rivers east of the Rocky Mountains do flow in a southerly direction because the elevation is lower to the south and they are flowing toward the Gulf of Mexico. Source: Riverlorian.com
