EspañolLITTLE RIVER (OKLAHOMA/ARKANSAS)
:''For the river of the same name in central Oklahoma, see Little River (Oklahoma). For the river of the same name in southeastern Missouri and northeastern Arkansas, see Little River (Missouri-Arkansas).''
The 'Little River' is a tributary of the Red River, about 220 mi (355 km) long, in southeastern Oklahoma and southwestern Arkansas in the United States. Via the Red, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.
The Little River rises in southwestern Le Flore County, Oklahoma, in the Ouachita Mountains and flows westwardly into Pushmataha County, then southwardly into McCurtain County where it turns to flow southeastwardly, past Wright City and through the Little River National Wildlife Refuge and a portion of the Ouachita National Forest, into Arkansas, where it flows through or along the boundaries of Sevier, Little River and Hempstead Counties, past the Pond Creek National Wildlife Refuge. It enters the Red River on the common boundary of Little River and Hempstead Counties, about 1 mi (2 km) west of Fulton.
Dams of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers cause the Little River to form Pine Creek Lake in Oklahoma and Millwood Lake in Arkansas.
Principal tributaries of the Little River in Oklahoma include the Glover River and the Mountain Fork, both of which join it in McCurtain County. In Arkansas, it receives the Rolling Fork and the Cossatot River from the north in Sevier County; and the Saline River, which flows to Millwood Lake from the north on the boundary of Sevier and Howard Counties.
