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.

Is it unusual that rivers flow north?

The Red River is a major North American river located in North Dakota. The reason that the Red River flows north is due to the fact that the location of the river is 200 feet higher in elevation than the water in which it feeds into. This causes the water to the lowest point of elevation which actually sits to the north of the river.

What is the only river that flows two different ways in the same st?

Several rivers flow in opposite directions within a state. The Hudson, a tidal estuary, flows north (upstream) with the incoming tide, and then flows south with the outgoing tide. There are many similar estuary rivers. Several other rivers will flow in different directions due to meanders, or oxbows. See the Goosenecks of the San Juan in Utah. the river flows generally west, but will meander south, west, then north within just a few miles. Finally, several rivers like the Snake in Idaho make large bends. The Snake flows south-west in eastern Idaho, and bends north-east in western Idaho.
