The Little Clyde River is a river in the municipality of Lanark Highlands, Lanark County in Eastern Ontario, Canada.[1] It is in the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin, is a right tributary of the Clyde River, and was named after the River Clyde in Scotland.
The Little Clyde River begins at the outflow from Tate Lake in geographic Dalhousie Township.[2] It flows east, then turns northeast, passes the community of Poland, enters geographic Lanark Township,[3] and reaches its mouth at the Clyde River. The Clyde River flows via the Mississippi River and the Ottawa River to the Saint Lawrence River.
