Winding River (also known in-lore as the Carter River) is a Transition Zone Region behind Carter Hydro Dam that connects Mystery Lake to a Cave and then subsequently to Pleasant Valley. It was the 2nd Transition Zone to be released in The Long Dark.
Overview
Resident wildlife consists of Rabbits and occasionally a Wolf patrol is often found near the base of the Dam itself. Reishi Mushrooms and other plants can be harvested in the area near the banks of the river. Despite the ice below the Dam appearing deep enough for Ice Fishing, Free Form Ice Holes cannot be cut.
The area has few notable locations, aside from a Warm Cave that often has a Research Book, and 2 Deer Carcasses. A nearby hill can often contain Green Birch Sapling and Green Maple Sapling.
The Carter Hydro Dam can not be re-entered by walking back into the push door if exited from inside the Dam, nor can it be propped open as the door automatically closes and locks behind you. A broken window across from the dam exit can be used to regain entry into the Dam, doing so requires walking across the other side of the Dam by via a ledge.
Locations
Despite having no marked locations, 2 Region Transition icons can be found:
- The Cave System Leading to Pleasant Valley
- The broken window leading back into the Hydro Dam
The exit door to the dam does not count as a Region Transition icon.
