Thanks to everyone who bothered to look and/or leave comments! :-) I suppose the river will freeze over at some point, but I don't think it will stop running all together. In summertime, by the way, this place is a nice spot for arranging bikini shoots. At this time of year, the sun is only above the horizon between nine and three, and barely over the treetops as far as this scenery is concerned. So motion stopping shutter speeds are not an option when you need DOF and low noise.
Tim Bray's observation that "water doesn't look like that" is very interesting. What does water look like "for real"? Are motion-stopping, short exposure times any closer to reality than long exposures? I'd say not, because our eyes can't register details apparent only for a few milliseconds, any more than it can exactly imagine what a flow will look like in a long exposure. Some people like one and dislike the other, but to call dibs on what water *actually* looks like doesn't make sense to me. However it's interesting that we perceive such a simple thing as flowing water so differently.
