Little Swanport River

The Little Swanport River is a river within Little Swanport on the east coast of Tasmania.

In the colonial period of the early 1800s the Lisdillon salt works [1][2] utilised the Little Swanport River.[3]

The Little Swanport river forms a key part of the Little Swanport water catchment. It is here that the Little Swanport River meets the sea and land use is more diverse with large coastal grazing properties, residential/holiday settlements, tourist accommodation, and olive and oyster farming enterprises. The mouth of the Little Swanport River (estuary) is a popular spot for recreational fishing and other seaside holiday activities. It supports several successful oyster farming enterprises.[4]

The river forms the most northern border of the Pembroke Land District.[5][6][7]
