The River Skai is a river in the Dreamlands that originates on Mount Lerion. It flows through fertile plains, fields, and meadows, beautiful countryside, and peaceful farmland near the towns of Ulthar, Nir, and Hatheg. The river then continues all the way down to the city of Dylath-Leen on the Southern Sea. A smooth trade road used by merchant caravans runs along the river between the aforementioned towns and cities. (HPL: The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath)

Near Ulthar the river flows past the Enchanted Wood where a village of the zoogs is located in the central part of the forest. A great stone bridge also spans the river at Ulthar. The masons who originally built the bridge sealed a living human sacrifice within the central support thirteen hundred years before Randolph Carter first visited the Dreamlands.
