There is also a river running through the town called Pasleka.

Sounds like Pasleka is the town, not the river.

A couple of options:
"The river Pasleka runs through the town"
"There is also a river, the Pasleka, that runs through the town"

There is not much entertainment to find

"to be found" would be the correct way to say that.

i like the passive voice; however, americans tend to dislike it as if it was a crime-- i don't think that's a case with the british though.
