The Rutabaga River was a scenic stream mentioned in The Austere Academy, probably located in the City or somewhere near its vicinities.
History
It was mentioned that at one point, Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire were taken for a picnic on the riverside by their father. He was so excited about the food he prepared that he forgot to pack silverware so they ended up having to eat sweet-and-sour shrimp with their hands. Afterwards, Violet was fishing in the river with a fishing rod that she herself had invented while Klaus was picking blackberries with his mother and Sunny was gnawing on some rocks.[1]
Snicket commented that since that outing, the Baudelaires never visited the Rutabaga River again.[1]
