Little Schuylkill River
Schuylkill River watershed. The Little Schuylkill River joins the Schuylkill River southeast of Pottsville.
The Little Schuylkill River is a 30.6-mile-long (49.2 km)[1] tributary of the Schuylkill River in northeast Pennsylvania in the United States.
It rises south of McAdoo Heights in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, on top of Broad Mountain. It flows south, then southwest passing through the communities of Tamaqua and New Ringgold. The river joins the Schuylkill River near Port Clinton west of Hawk Mountain. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has designated two parts of the stream special trout stocking areas.
