Little Falls Branch (Potomac River tributary)

Little Falls Branch just north of the Clara Barton Parkway in Brookmont, Maryland

Little Falls Branch, a 3.8-mile-long (6.1 km)[1] tributary stream of the Potomac River, is located in Montgomery County, Maryland. In the 19th century, the stream was also called Powder Mill Branch.[2] It drains portions of Bethesda, Somerset, Friendship Heights, and Washington, D.C., flows under the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (C&O), and empties into the Potomac at Little Falls rapids, which marks the upper end of the tidal Potomac.
