Took a shot in Stonesense since it's hard to describe but this is one odd river/waterfall.

[Sizik]

What's the area under the river like?

[Untelligent]

I had one like this once a long time ago.

I was going to post it and say "mine's weirder," but then I saw the picture and I was all "holy carp it's practically the exact same phenomena this happened more than once"

If my starting dwarves didn't die in a series of fires related to modding without fully gasping the consequences of making a giant spider whose silk is constantly on fire, that would have made an awesome entrance.

[Double A]

That's pretty freaking awesome.

I think I'm going to artificially do that with the next waterfall I find.

Edit: If I put some bars or floor grates "on" the waterfall, would it be passable to both dwarves and the water? This also would make flooding my entrance a whole lot easier. I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner!

[gtmattz]

That looks like the beginnings of a megaproject to me...

[Double A]

What? My new fort's waterfall entrance? Not really.

[The Transcendent Tyrant]

This is what happens when the area around the river erodes but the river's materials themselves don't. I thought it was fixed.

Report it as a bug?

This is how small streams often look in hilly areas, there's always only one waterfall in every overworld tile. You either get these aquaducts or sheer canyons. Possibly both if the pathing god hates you.

Does he take blood sacrifices like Armok, or do I have to make a giant labyrinth to appease him?

Make a labyrinth and fill it with blood of elves and goblins.

[Double A]

That's it? Nothing unusual?

[Cheshire Cat]

it gets odder in frozen biomes. you can get a big bridge thing of frozen river wandering around with stone banks on either side of it but no ground underneath it.

also if you try and get dwarves walking on grates that have lots of running water on them it gets very spammy, as the dwarves get knocked around a lot and cancel their jobs / fall unconcious / drown. people used to do things like that a lot to keep their dwarves clean in versions past.

Any chance you could perhaps upload the save?

Seems to me that that old bug where rivers would maintain their source height all the way to the ocean may be back, at least partially.  That's what those old bugged rivers used to look like.
