Winding Arrow River

"The eastern-flowing river, which was pouring from the higher mountains at the western end of the range, was far too swift and too broken with rapids for them to think of swimming it..."

- Chapter 10

The Winding Arrow River was the river that marked the northern border of the Great Desert and the southern border of Archenland.

It was described as a turbulent river, full of rapids, flowing east from the mountains of Archenland towards the Great Eastern Ocean.

Appearance in "The Horse and His Boy"
Bree, Shasta, Aravis, and Hwin arrived at the Winding Arrow River after crossing the Great Desert. They rested there for several hours before continuing their journey to Anvard.

It was in the valley of the River Winding Arrow that the travelers again encountered Aslan, who wounded Aravis and gave the horses the strength to reach the Hermit of the Southern March. As a result, Shasta was able to warn King Lune of the imminent attack on Anvard.

The River Winding Arrow was forded by the army of Prince Rabadash during the Archenland Conflict.
