In Part 7, must you reach the anchoring ships from both sides to enter the mountainside?

The rulebook states this directly.

Yes. You need a path through the Forest River to the ships and a second path over land to the other side, joined through the ships' space. Only then do you fill in the lock and may enter the mountainside. The river is an exception to the region rule: you may always keep drawing in it.
