Got to disagree. Real life rivers do that stuff all the time; even, perhaps particularly, at this scale.

Well I admit I'm no expert in rivers so yeah, I'm probably wrong but can a river double back on itself like that? The bit where the river splits is at an angle of like, 130 degrees to the current direction, and while I guess the lay of the land could maybe allow this (if there's a sharp drop in that direction maybe), I would imagine that part of the mouth leading up to it would be eroded. At any rate, such an offshoot would surely be much thinner than the river which spawned it?

Oh, so you're talking about the section with the small island, and not the about face turn further downstream?

I'll concede that that part of the river could use a little work. Although islands do form in rivers, I'm not so sure that a branch that flows around such an island will commonly double back on itself before rejoining the main river.
