Last River
The Last River is a river found in the most northern part of the North, nearer to the Wall than to Winterfell. Much of the land on either side of the river is ruled by House Umber.[1][2]
The Last River's headwaters are a number of streams in the northern mountains. It flows east past the kingsroad and through the Umber forest containing Last Hearth. The river then continues southeast between the Dreadfort and Karhold to the Shivering Sea.[3] There is ice fishing on the northern rivers.[4]
