About the little bighorn river
The Little Bighorn River is a 138-mile-long tributary of the Bighorn River in Montana and Wyoming. The river is most well-known for its significance in Native American history as the site of the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. The river originates in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains and flows into Montana, where it joins the Bighorn River. The Little Bighorn River is fed by several tributaries, including the Nowood River and the Crazy Woman Creek. There are no dams or reservoirs on the Little Bighorn River, but there are several irrigation diversions for agriculture. The river is also popular for recreational activities, such as fishing, boating, and camping.
