The Little River is a 105-mile-long (169 km)tributary of the Withlacoochee River in the U.S. state of Georgia. Via the Withlacoochee and the Suwannee River its waters flow to the Gulf of Mexico. The Little River was also known historically as the Ockolocoochee River.
The Little River rises in northwestern Turner County, Georgia, 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Ashburn. The river flows southeast into Tift County, passing west of Tifton, then turns more southerly as it becomes the boundary between Colquitt and Cook counties. The river subsequently becomes the boundary between Cook and Brooks counties, then between Brooks and Lowndes counties. It flows into the Withlacoochee River 4 miles (6 km) west of the center of Valdosta near the now abandoned town of Troupville, Georgia.
Reed Bingham State Park is a recreational area along the Little River. It includes a 375 acre (1.52 km²) lake created by a dam built in 1965 across the river.
