Little Wood Reservoir is located near Carey, Idaho and was completed in 1937 as an irrigation reservoir. It has a capacity of 38,000 acre-feet of water and is fed by the Little Wood River. The reservoir supplies water for irrigation in the surrounding agricultural area and also provides opportunities for recreation such as boating, fishing, and camping. The hydrology of the reservoir is influenced by snowpack in the surrounding mountains, which provides a significant portion of the water supply. Specific surface flow providers include the Little Wood River, which flows into the reservoir, and the Big Wood River, which is fed by the reservoir. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including waterfowl and fish species such as rainbow trout and smallmouth bass.
