Is there a river that flows against gravity?

Usually, there are only small portions of a river that flows against the slope of the land , or gravity. I work at a park on the White River in Hamilton County IN. We are in a huge bend in the river and the White River flows northward at this point, against the slope for about a 1/4 of a mile. This happens on the St. Joseph River in northern Indiana and a co-worker tells me the Cuyahoga in Ohio also has this phenomena. I reckon it is an uncommon, but not rare, situation.
