Little River (Exeter, New Hampshire)

The Little River is a small, primarily freshwater river located in Exeter, New Hampshire. It is a tributary of the Squamscott River, which itself flows into the Great Bay, an estuary connected to the Atlantic Ocean. The Little River's watershed is relatively small, draining portions of Exeter and surrounding towns.

The river is known for its relatively undeveloped shoreline, providing important habitat for a variety of wildlife, including fish, birds, and mammals. Historically, the river was used for small-scale industrial purposes, such as gristmills and sawmills, but these activities are no longer prevalent.

The Little River is accessible in various locations via public trails and road crossings. It plays a role in the local ecosystem and provides recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. Water quality is a concern, and efforts are periodically undertaken to monitor and improve the river's health.
