The Little Red River is an intermittent stream about 30miles long, formed at the confluence of the North Prong and South Prong Little Red River in Briscoe County, Texas, and flowing east-northeastward to join the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River in Hall County, Texas.
The upper tributaries of the Little Red River are ephemeral streams known as the North Prong and South Prong Red River. Both streams originate along the eastern Caprock Escarpment of the Llano Estacado in Briscoe County, Texas, and flow through Caprock Canyons State Park. The North Prong flows to the north and the South Prong passes to the south of Haynes Ridge, a landmark feature of Caprock Canyons. The North Prong and South Prong merge at a point about 6miles north of Quitaque, Texas, to form the Little Red River proper.
The Little Red River initially runs eastward across Briscoe County and then turns northeastward as it approaches the Hall County line. The stream then continues in an easterly direction across sparsely populated ranch country of Hall County before merging with the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River.
Overall, the Little Red River and its tributaries descend 1322feet from its headwaters to its confluence with the Prairie Dog Town Fork, in a 48-km journey passing through flat to moderately steep terrain along its course.
