At the river (short question)

The usual preposition is on. You can say 'sailing down/up the river'.

If one is surprised to learn that he can do sailing at the river, he could express his excitement by placing an exclamation [!] at the end of the statement.

But the whole sentence asks if it's wrong to say it, so it's a question if taken in its entirety.
