The Little Washita River is situated generally between Chickasha and Lawton in southwestern Oklahoma.[1] Its watershed comprises about 236 square miles (611 square kilometers) over parts of Caddo, Comanche, and Grady counties.[2][1] The Little Washita is a tributary of the Washita River,[1] and joins that watercourse southeast of Chickasha.[3] The Washita River then drains into the Red River on the Oklahoma-Texas border.[1]
Popular species of fish caught in the Little Washita include Blue catfish, Channel catfish, and Longnose gar.[4]
