River Summary: The Little Snake River is a 155-mile-long river that flows through Wyoming and Colorado in the United States. The river gets its name from the rocky terrain, which resembles a snake's body. It is a tributary of the Yampa River, and the watershed for the river covers about 1,500 square miles. The river is known for its excellent trout fishing and beautiful scenery. There are two main reservoirs along the river: the Stagecoach Reservoir and the Yamcolo Reservoir. These reservoirs provide water for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation. The Little Snake River Valley is also home to several ranches, and agriculture is an essential part of the local economy. The river is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, including anglers, hikers, and hunters. The Little Snake River is rich in history, and the region was once home to several Native American tribes, including the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute.
