No, a river is a river, not a wetland. If it has wet and spongy soil, like a marsh, it is. It would more refer to an area around a river that would be flooded by it, rather than the river itself. It can refer to any marshy area, often near a coast or river. It is literally land that is wet. It is usually shallow enough, where wading birds might be able to feed. There would typically be vegetation growing up through the water.
