Little Gunpowder Falls
Little Gunpowder Falls, as its name implies, is much smaller than the mainstem Gunpowder Falls. Throughout its 25.2-mile (40.6 km) length, it forms much of the boundary between eastern Baltimore County and western Harford County until it reaches the Big Gunpowder. From there, the Gunpowder River is mainly a tidal estuary of the Chesapeake Bay that continues to form the boundary between Baltimore and Harford counties.
