The River Lum (AKA River of Bawles) is a river flowing through mostly Misthalin and the Wilderness, moving north-to-south. It is the longest river in Free-to-play, and the second longest river in RuneScape. Its source is in the Wilderness, north of the Wilderness Volcano. It runs as an underground stream until it emerges just north of the Wilderness border. It filters out to the sea on the Misthalinian-Kharidian border. The town of Lumbridge is named after the river.

Travelling the length of the river Bawles

The end of the River Lum.

Travelling up the river rather than across is possible by using canoes. It is also possible to travel to level 35 Wilderness, though the river is not visible there.

Fishing spots

The River Lum has some important fishing spots in several locations. If you like fly fishing or river bait fishing, there are several of these spots in Lumbridge, and more in Gunnarsgrunn. These are the only places in free play to catch salmon, trout, or pike. Using a small cage there are some spots to catch crayfish as well.

Trivia

• In Albanian the word for river is lum, making the river's name "River River."
• The River Lum's name is just like a river in Cambridge, near Jagex HQ, called the River Cam.
• There are only three settlements by the river - Lumbridge, Gunnarsgrunn and Edgeville.
