The Little River is a small river in Maine, a state in the United States. It is about 18.8 miles (30.2 kilometers) long. This river is a tributary, which means it's a smaller river or stream that flows into a larger one. The Little River flows into the Presumpscot River.

Journey of the Little River

The Little River begins in the northern part of a town called Buxton. This area is in York County. From there, the river flows towards the southeast.

After a while, it changes direction and flows northeast. It then enters another town called Gorham, which is in Cumberland County.

The river continues its journey across Gorham, flowing northeast and then east. Finally, it reaches the Presumpscot River at the eastern edge of Gorham. This spot is right across from the town of Windham.
