About The Little Red River

The Little Red River is a 102 mile-long river in north-central Arkansas. The Little Red River, emerging icy cold from beneath the massive dam at Greers Ferry Lake is a premier-class trout steam. Trout were introduced to the river in 1966, some three years after the completion of the Greers Ferry Lake project. The Little Red River offers 29 miles of ideal trout habitat below Greers Ferry Dam at Heber Springs. The brown trout spawning run occurs from mid-October through November, making these especially good times to fish. Stocked rainbow trout provide the bulk of the Little Red River’s fish population.
