The Little Seboeis River is a small, short stream located in the state of Maine, United States. It flows through a part of Penobscot County. This river is an important part of the local water system.

About the Little Seboeis River

The Little Seboeis River is not very long. It stretches for about 5.5 miles (which is about 8.8 kilometers). A stream is a small, narrow river. This river starts in a place called Township 4, Range 7, WELS, in Maine.

Where Does It Flow?

The river begins its journey from its source, which is like its starting point. From there, it flows generally towards the south and then to the west. It continues this path until it meets another, larger river.

Meeting the Seboeis River

The Little Seboeis River eventually joins with the Seboeis River. When two rivers or streams meet and flow into each other, it's called a confluence. The Little Seboeis River is a tributary of the Seboeis River. A tributary is a smaller stream or river that flows into a larger one.

Part of a Bigger System

The water from the Little Seboeis River travels into the Seboeis River. Then, the Seboeis River flows into the East Branch Penobscot River. Finally, the East Branch Penobscot River joins the much larger Penobscot River. This means the Little Seboeis River is a small but connected part of a big river system in Maine.
