The Little River
The 'Little River' is a 7.4
mile long (11.8
km)
river in the
White Mountains of
New Hampshire in the
United States. It is a tributary of the
Ammonoosuc River and part of the
Connecticut River watershed.
The Little River rises in the
White Mountain National Forest in a small
glacial cirque surrounded by
Zealand Mountain to the east,
Mount Guyot to the south, and
South Twin Mountain to the west. The river flows north into the town of
Bethlehem, through a deep valley between
North Twin Mountain to the west and
Mount Hale to the east. Eventually the river enters the town of
Carroll near the community of
Twin Mountain, passes under
U.S. Route 3, and ends at the Ammonoosuc River.
The Little River is a public water supply for the village of Twin Mountain. A portion of the river is paralleled by (and crossed three times by) the North Twin Trail, a hiking trail.
