The Little River Reservoir is located in Durham, North Carolina, United States, and is one of the main sources of drinking water for the town.
The reservoir was created by a dam completed in 1988.[1] It hosts a city park that offers fishing facilities including boat, canoe, and kayak rentals, along with picnic tables and restrooms.[2] Private boats are not permitted on the reservoir.
Current and historic reservoir water levels can be found below.[3]
In cooperation with Raleigh, Wake Forest, Wendell, and Zebulon in North Carolina, Wake County NC is also planning a reservoir on the Little River.[4] The project has been postponed for environmental study.[5]
