The Little Pigeon River is a 23.4 mile-long river located in the eastern United States, specifically in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Historically, the river played an important role in the development of the region's economy, and was used to transport lumber and other goods. The river flows through several reservoirs, including the Douglas Dam and the Gatlinburg Reservoir, which are used for hydroelectric power generation and flood control. The Little Pigeon River is also used for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and rafting, and supports agricultural uses such as irrigation for crops. Despite its industrial and recreational uses, efforts have been made to protect the Little Pigeon River's ecological health, including the reintroduction of endangered species such as the Hellbender salamander.
