Big Mud River

The Big Mud River is a large sediment-heady river that is sourced from Lake Ventrul and joins with the Lipton River to form the Salato River. Although the Big Mud River is short, spanning less than 30 km in length, its broad width means that most of the water in the Salato River comes from the Big Mud.

The path of the Big Mud River flows through some of the richest soil in Selcaria. Deep loam mixed with volcanic ash provides some of the most productive agriculture, along with heavy sediment along the river.
