From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Little Southwest Miramichi River is a Canadian river in New Brunswick.

The Little Southwest Miramichi River has its origins at Gover Lake in the Miramichi Highlands, part of the Appalachian Mountains in Northumberland County.

The river flows between the Northwest Miramichi River, to its north, and the Renous River to its south. It joins the Northwest Miramichi River at Red Bank, NB, whereas the Renous River joins the Southwest Miramichi River at Renous, NB.

The Northwest Miramichi River then joins the Southwest Miramichi River at Newcastle, NB to form the Miramichi River.
