The Little Vermilion River is a tributary of the Wabash River. The Little Vermilion arises in southern Vermilion County, Illinois, flowing eastward past Georgetown, Illinois, into Vermillion County, Indiana, where it joins the Wabash near Newport, Indiana. There is a second river in Illinois that bears the same name: Little Vermilion River (Illinois River tributary). The Little Vermilion is a beautiful river that winds through the Harry "Babe" Woodyard state property east of Georgetown and then continues on until it dumps into the Wabash near Newport, Ind. The Middle Fork, Salt Fork and Little Vermilion, as well as certain parts of the Big Vermilion and North Fork, have a tremendous smallmouth bass population, which makes for another great attraction to Vermilion River Country. Bring a light action rod, a pair of cut-off jeans and a pair of old tennis shoes and try landing one of our big "smallies" during your visit.
