Little Wood River is a part of a region of very complex geology. Geological Survey Bulletin 814 "Geology and Ore Deposits of the Wood River Region, Idaho" gives an extensive description of the geology of the area. A synopsis of this information follows: Sedimentary deposits of sandstone with interbedded conglomerate and limestone (designated the Wood River formation), shale with interbedded blue limestone and quartzite (designated the Milligen formation) and extensive flows of andesite underlie most of the drainage.

Metamorphosed limestone, quartzite and schist occupy a small area on the extreme northwest divide and an olivine basalt flow in the vicinity of the Little Wood Reservoir covers a considerable area. The entire region has been subjected to extensive uplift, folding and faulting with considerable igneous intrusion. The headwaters area of the main stem and its minor tributaries has been subjected to some glacial action.
