About the little lost river
The Little Lost River is a small river located in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. It is approximately 74 miles long and flows into the Big Lost River. The river was once a source of irrigation for the surrounding agricultural land, but due to frequent droughts, it has been mostly dry since the early 1900s. There are several reservoirs and dams along the river, including the Mackay Reservoir and the Little Lost River Dam. These have been used for irrigation and hydroelectric power production. The area surrounding the river is also popular for recreational activities such as fishing, camping, and hiking. Despite its name, the Little Lost River remains a significant resource for the local community.
