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.
