• The lake outside the Riften docks.

Trivia

• River Betty makes some of the most potent damage health potions. It is only beaten by the Crimson Nirnroot and Jarrin Root which is only obtained once for a quest.
• As River Betty is more easily obtained in large quantities than Crimson Nirnroot, it is an interesting ingredient for the creation of damage health potions. However, as River Betty is more expensive than Crimson Nirnroot, it will result in more expensive potions which are harder or in some cases even impossible to reverse pickpocket with the Poisoned perk. The higher value causes no problem when the poison is used to poison a weapon.
