The Little Withlacoochee River is a 25-mile-long river in central Florida. It flows through the Green Swamp and eventually joins the Withlacoochee River. The river has a rich history, having been used by Native American tribes for thousands of years. Hydrologically, the river is fed by numerous springs and is surrounded by wetlands, making it an important part of the ecosystem. The river is dammed at several points, including the Gum Slough, which forms the Gum Slough Reservoir. The reservoir serves as a water source for the Tampa Bay area. The Little Withlacoochee River is also used for recreational activities such as fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. The surrounding land is used for agriculture, including cattle ranching and citrus orchards. Overall, the Little Withlacoochee River is an important part of central Florida's natural and human-made landscape.
