In the USA, the "continental divide" is the Rocky Mountains range of mountains. East of that, all rivers flow to the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. West of the "Continental Divide", rivers flow west into the Pacific Ocean.

Are there any rivers that flow across the Continental Divide?

If there are then it's because they haven't been discovered, and as soon as they are discovered, the location of the continental divide will be adjusted so they don't. By definition of the continental divide, the answer is "no". River sources define the Continental Divide, not the other way round.
