Rivers always flow downhill. Given the vast expanse of the ocean, most of the time, if you keep going downhill, even on the slightest of slopes, you will eventually reach the ocean.

There are a few exceptions, though, where rivers end at basins not connected to the ocean. Several rivers once fed into the landlocked Aral sea before they were diverted by human activity. The Okavango river simply spreads out, forming a delta in the Kalahari Desert, where most of the water evaporates.

Is Lake Ontario connected to the ocean?

In most cases, eventually. The oceans are the lowest regions of the surface of our planet and collect all the worldwide rainfall, as part of the Earth's hydrologic or water cycle. In some parts of the world, rivers may empty into a lake within the continent. For example, in Australia, numerous rivers eventually empty into lake Eyre, a large salt sink with an elevation of fifteen metres below sea level.
