I think this is silky dogwood.
It's right on a river, almost always flooded. The leaves are dark green, ovate, and waxy. It's bushy, but with many reddish-brown to green vertical stems.
The drupe berries are blue and come in bunches from cherry-like stems. The unripe berries are green.
Theoretically this is forageable. But if I was going to take these fruit, it would be to place the seeds where they will stabalize the bank.
