SWIM

Little River Swim Guide

The Little River Watershed Association is excited to launch a seasonal monitoring program that will take water samples from six strategic locations on the Little River and then take these samples to Microbac Lab to be tested for for E.coli levels. We do this to assess the safety and quality of the river for recreational uses, and to hopefully to better address these pollutants later in the future. Findings will also be posted on our social media so as to better educate the public so they may make informed decisions before swimming, boating, and fishing on the river!

DISCLAIMER: The information contained on this website is for informational purposes only. All sites monitored are natural waterbodies and contaminants are present from a wide variety of sources. Local conditions fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, and especially after rainfall events. The results are only representative of the exact time, date and location at which the sample was taken and do not represent the water quality between sampling events or at other locations nearby on the river. Always swim at your own risk and use precautions.

FISH

The Little River is an excellent spot for fishing, be it fly fishing for rainbow trout in the upper reaches of the river near the National Park, or further downstream on a bank with a pole waiting for a small mouth bass to bite. We are fortunate to have a healthy and ecologically diverse river to use for a variety of fishers.

Make sure to check Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agencies’ page for fishing guides and regulations, and remember a fishing liscense is always required!
