About the little washita river
The Little Washita River is a tributary of the Washita River in Oklahoma, USA. It begins in the Wichita Mountains and flows for 57 miles before it joins the Washita River near Chickasha. The river's name comes from the Washita word for "river of little rocks." The Little Washita River has been an important source of water for agriculture and recreational activities. The river's watershed includes several reservoirs, including the Lake Ellsworth and Lake Lawtonka, which were formed by dams built in the early 20th century. The reservoirs provide water for irrigation and serve as recreation areas for fishing, boating, and camping. The Little Washita River has a rich history as an important source of water for the region and continues to play a vital role in the area's economy and culture.
