Lurch Canyon existed on the world of Pasaana, a relatively short distance away from the Forbidden Valley. The Aki-Aki people established their community within the canyon, which also supported a diverse array of indigenous wildlife, such as the vexis and the gouge-beetles. Notably, the Shifting Mires were located there, serving as the location where Ochi, the Sith cultist assassin, met his death, resulting in his starship, the Bestoon Legacy, being left behind on a cliff overlooking the canyon. The planet was its location.
