There are three main methods to cross rivers and water in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The most basic way in the early part of the game is to use the ACNH Vaulting Pole.

ACNH cross rivers using the vaulting pole: To begin with, you can only explore a small section of the island, which is blocked off by a river. To go further, you need a Vaulting Pole - a temporary solution until you can get a Bridge. You will be able to head over to the water and select the vaulting pole from your menu, hold it and then walk towards the water. Press A to use the vaulting pole and you are over. This is essential especially for Mystery Island Tours where there are areas that require a pole to get there.
Build a bridge: You will be required to build a log bridge in Animal Crossing to progress the story. It will easily allow you and the villagers to cross rivers. Additionally, you will be able to build up to 8 bridges in the Resident Services. Check out Animal Crossing New Horizons Bridge Guide: Styles, Prices, Limit & How to Build a Long Bridge.
