When you spend as much time on the water as I do, you get pretty interested in currents and flow speeds. The title for the fastest flowing river is generally given to the Amazon River, especially when you look at the sheer volume of water pushing through the narrow sections near the Obidos narrows. It's honestly wild how fast that water moves when the rainy season hits its peak.
That said, if you're talking about pure surface speed in a specific channel, the Niagara River is another one that comes to mind right away. I've navigated some pretty intense currents in my time, but those rapids are on another level compared to the usual stuff. It's not just about the speed, it's the power behind it that really catches you off guard if you aren't paying attention to the charts.

That's an interesting one. Most people immediately think of the Amazon or the Congo, but those are big, powerful rivers rather than the fastest. If you look at sheer surface speed, the Niagara River in North America is usually the one that comes to mind for me. It moves a crazy amount of water through the rapids, and it's honestly terrifying to look at when you're nearby. You wouldn't want to be anywhere near that current, trust me.
However, if we are talking about the highest average velocity, you have to look at the Saltstraumen strait in Norway. It's technically a tidal current, but it acts like a river and hits speeds of about 40 km/h. I’ve seen some intense currents in my time, but that one is on another level. It’s pretty wild how the tide rushing through such a narrow opening can create whirlpools that look like they could swallow a small boat whole.
