There are indeed two small creeks named Little River in the Greenbrier River watershed. Both are marginally runnable and both have many strainers. The one in the description is a tributary of the West Fork Greenbrier deep in the National Forest along FS road 17. The other is a tributary of the East Fork Greenbrier River running along US Route 250 near Buffalo Lake.

If you are looking for this creek with the map or given coordinates, you will be at the WRONG Little River.

Trees were down one after another - a nice hike, but don't bother paddling Little River.
