Where there is a will, there is way

The River Below, winding it's way through the canyon walls, carving out the mountains as it goes is called the River of Eterra. To the Draconics however, it is just called "the river below."
The huge river cuts and winds its way through the great canyon. There are sandy shores lined with pebbles and small shrubs. Some are wide where the water never touches the far side, allowing trees to grow in small bushels. There are other places where the river grows so wide that there is no such thing as a shore at all, and the waters rest right up against the stone walls.
The river is deep all around, and the current often too swift for an easy swim. A swimming Draconic would surely have no problem splashing about in it's wake, but for a simple humanoid creature, it would be dangerous. It would be best stay toward the shoreline to fish, unless perhaps one was riding on the back of their Draconic.
Current Season
During the "Wet Season" (Spring and Summer)
During the wet season, the air is warm... almost too warm at times. Taking a swim would seem like a very good idea to cool off, but the water is so high and moving so fast, that any man with common sense would think twice before diving in. The river is deep, and swift, roiling over boulders in many places. There is less shoreline than during the Dry season, and usually there's only room for a single man to walk between the river and the canyon walls. Most people use the canyon wall itself as a resting place, sitting on one of the many ledges toward the bottom to stay safe from the fast-moving river below.
Whenever there's a side-canyon, the river rushes in, and forms a lake. As there's nowhere for the water to go, the little lake just sort-of sits there, swirling very slowly and calmly. This "still lake" is a perfect place to go swimming, as you can do so with little fear of being swept away.
Nearly every day it rains, is fog, or is drizzly. Not all day, but certainly almost once per day for sure. The rain, it seems, rolls in from the sea far away, and the clouds get stuck in the canyon, traveling along it until finally dumping out when the air gets too hot for it be carried any further. The river itself is mostly filled with the melting water from the mountains to the north, but no doubt the rain doesn't help.
Several mud-bound creatures dig burrows to prevent themselves from being washed away during this season, but many fish are more than happy to challenge it's current, especially as food is more abundant for them.
