The river runs from the Fionn Loch into Gruinard Bay (famed for Gruinard Island). It lies within the Letterewe Estate, previously owned by Paul Fentener van Vlissingen, a Dutch businessman. The Little Gruinard has been a forerunner in the development of catch and release fishing amongst Scottish salmon rivers.

It drains a catchment area of 81km2. [2]

The Little Gruinard River supports a high-quality Atlantic Salmon population. [3]
