Seeking advice on what do with this river mouth!

Hi, everyone! I'm in the process of terraforming the left side of my island, but I'm running into some design challenges. I don't know what to do with the mouth of this river branch!

The waterfall directly south surrounds a graveyard area. I plan to build an incline to the second level between the waterfall and the river for a forested campsite area. I'd like to build a bridge connecting the campsite/forest with the area north leading towards the museum, but I'm having trouble "sheltering" this spot on my map. I only have one undedicated incline left to work with.

What would you do with this river to "close off" the area between the river and the waterfall for a campsite?

I would make a lake.

I'm not sure I have any suggestions, but I love your island's name. Does your island in general have any Witcher influences?

I'd construct a pond there and then place trees or flowers around it. Then place an incline/pavement directly from the pond toward the Museum.

It does! I'm doing my best to build "monster dens" around my island and add unsettling little details wherever possible. As soon as I finish up with my campsite area, I'm going to work on an alchemy lab on the rocky area of my beach.

That sounds perfect! I'd honestly like to see it sometime!

I've been playing lots of Witcher 3 recently, and I never even thought about it until now, but I think it subliminally influenced the "natural" theme of my island. Textures and the way trees and items are placed more so than the theme itself. It's a beautiful game.
