when a piece of land meets a river

[alpacinou]

I want to express the idea a piece of land meets a river.

Is this correct and natural?

I kept walking until the grassy land fell away gently to a narrow river.

If that doesn't work, how can I say it?

See above.

They both sound fine to me.

If it's very narrow, could it be a stream?
