It's not possible because rivers move due to their topology.
Actually I think it might be possible with a water fall.

Could you have some kind of "rattling pot lid" type tectonics going on that continually sloshes everything in a circle?

rivers move in bulk due to gravity, and gravity is a conservative field. since water loses momentum due to drag and turbulence, water molecules, in general, cannot arrive back in their original position after going around the river without adding more energy to the system.

>“They went and bought some tubes and they went to the Maple Island Bridge, which is one of the access points to the river, a popular spot,” Grabinski said Thursday. “They were misinformed: Somebody said (the river) makes a big loop and they’d come right back to their car.”

>Grabinski said the women did not know the individual who offered the faulty advice, and no one has come forward to claim credit. The women were unfamiliar with the river and had never gone tubing.

That river eventually flows into Lake Michigan, which flows into Lake Huron and then Lake Erie and then over Niagara Falls. So if they just waited it out, they could have had an incredible white water adventure.

A circular river would just be a lake with an island in the middle. Because there couldn't be a height difference to make the water flow.

Which would be worthless for tubing since you need there to be a current to move you around.

Tubing is when you lash an inflatable (generally some form of innertube, hence the name, although you can get more specialized ones) to a motor boat by a long rope, get in, and then get dragged around in the boat's wake at speed.

More generally it is any activity done in an inflatable, including floating freely or using them on snow or other surfaces.

A tubing trip is a trip to go tubing.

In this particular case, they were just floating down the river in an intertube, assuming it would bring them back to the same place. If they had been tubing behind a boat, things would have been a bit easier on them, though I guess the driver of the boat could also be stupid enough to think heading down river would eventually loop them back around.

For a circular river, you'd need something to create current. You could have a circle where water enters through a branch. Perhaps that's not truly a circle but because current is flowing in, the tubers wouldn't leave the circle of flow. You'd need some way for water to leave, so perhaps some tunnels under the water line.
During flooding, there probably sometimes are localized temporary situations where such a circular system exists but they're not very stable and will disappear in a short period of time. For anything permanent, you need to intentionally design such a system, which we already have: the water park lazy river.
