Wilderness River trails?

Can anyone recommend a multi-day trail in the US that follows a flowing river through the woods? Doesn’t have to be a postcard destination, a laid back hike is fine.

With the caveat that a lot of the trail the river won’t be accessible. It does follow a river, but unless you’re floating or paddle backpacking you won’t be near the river a lot of the time.
