The Little River is a small river located in Columbia Falls, Maine, in the United States. It's a special kind of river called a tributary. This means it's a smaller river that flows into a larger one. The Little River flows into the Pleasant River.

What is the Little River?

The Little River starts in Maine. Its exact beginning, or source, is found at coordinates 44°44′16″N 67°44′25″W / 44.7377°N 67.7402°W / 44.7377; -67.7402 (Little River source). From there, it flows south for about 7.1 miles (which is about 11.4 kilometers).

Where does it go?

The river's journey ends when it joins the Pleasant River. This meeting point is called a confluence. Think of it like two roads merging into one bigger road. The Little River helps add water to the Pleasant River, making it bigger and stronger.
