Little River Canyon National Preserve

This park is a must see! The views from the canyon are amazingly beautiful. I visited yesterday while traveling and will definitely go back when I have more time. Make sure to drive the entire canyon which is approximately 12 miles and stop off at every view point. Eberhart Point was my favorite!

Spectacular views. Good birding opportunities. Especially beautiful in fall. The falls can be very impressive especially after a big rain.

Little river, canyon, national preserve was well worth the visit! They got a great viewing area to see the waterfalls with good safety railings. You can take a trail to the right of this to go swim in the river above the falls, but be careful because there’s no lifeguard on duty and to go over the falls would most likely be fatal. The trail to the left is about a mile and a half round trip and it goes to the lower section of the canyon below the falls. It’s quite a hike and ends with about 136 stone steps down to the bottom of the river canyon.

This place is absolutely beautiful. I definitely recommend if your ever in the area go take the time to check this place out...! I am so glad I did and I happened to run across this place by mistake honestly on my way to visit family. Lol

What a gorgeous and underrated National Park unit. It's not a "National Park", but the canyon is just as spectacular. We were able to find a shady spot in one of the overlooks and had our picnic.

This is a very beautiful waterfall with different swimming holes to choose from. The most popular swimming hole is called “hippie hole” and is about a mile down from the big waterfall. Lots of adrenaline junkies go here to jump off of the cliffs. Lots of fun to be had here. Just be extremely careful if you go. Also avoid bringing alcohol, the game warden will write you a hefty citation if he catches you drinking around here. Be sure to take lots of pictures and help keep this area clean!!

If I could live in the Canyon, I would build there! We wanted to stay ALL DAY. I have recommended this trip to several of my friends already. It's an outdoor lovers dream.

What a pleasant surprise this was! We weren't sure what we were going to find on that winding road along Bear Creek with all its roadside overlooks, but my goodness were we in for a treat! Pictures just don't do it justice. I wish we'd had time to make it all the way around. We missed the most beautiful part (the falls!) If you're in the area, spend a day checking out all of the overlooks and the falls. It's truly worth it. We're planning to visit again during the fall when all the leaves are bursting with color. (Our visit was in mid-December.) I haven't been able to get this area out of my mind since we returned. Stunningly beautiful and definitely worth the visit!

This is a beautiful place with several cool things to see and do. There are several scenic overlooks that stretch roughly 8 miles by car. There is a awesome swimming hole called the hippie hole that gets over 20 feet deep in places. There are several areas to jump off rocks into the water. The hiking trails at little river are overall short and pretty easy for a regular hiker. Be aware that the hike down to the swimming hole has 133 stone steps. It can be difficult for some people. There is also a swimming area that is much easier to access closer to the main bridge in the parking lot. The visitors center is beautiful to see. They show a video about little river canyon and there is a gift shop. I've hiked at many places this is one of the best overall.

A must see! Short hike to a wonderful creek and fall. There is an ADA access ramp to see the fall too! Beautiful peaceful location.

We really enjoyed the stunning vista's along the 12 mile scenic route. Allowed us to see so much of the area driving and we got spectacular photos. Even though Fall color had peaked, still quite beautiful. Impressive visitor center and commendable collaboration with many partners to offer so much. A mini Grand Canyon!

We had a great time here. It took us about 30 mins to walk to the swimming spot, but it was awesome and worth it. Allot of people were swimming when we got there. This place is always busy but everyone was respectful and we had a good time.

Such breathtaking views along with history of the Trail Of Tears. This is a hidden gem in our Beautiful State and Sweet Home of Alabama!

Really enjoyed this as a day trip. Not too much to do at the falls itself but there are some hikes. If you go be sure to drive down the canyon road headed south west. It's full of places to pull off and take pictures and is a dun road with great scenery. It's several miles long and will probably take about an hour but it's well worth it.

A totally underrated NPS unit. The falls are gorgeous and the canyon is synonymous with places like new river gorge. The rim drive with various overlooks will take your breath away.

The views are breathtaking! I highly recommend following your map to the locations you want to visit. You can pick up one at the welcome center. Don't rush just enjoy the beauty and peace.

This is an absolutely MUST SEE area in northeast Alabama. The canyon views, waterfalls, and rock formations are incredibly beautiful. You can take a few hours to hit the highlights or spend a few days hiking, rappelling, and kayaking. If you get up early, you can have a private visit to Martha's Falls. The view from the bottom of the canyon will impress even the most seasoned traveler. MUST SEE!!!

I came to this place with my brother and friends. We came out for the day. This place is beautiful but can get crowded. We hiked and found a cold water hole that was undisturbed. The only downside​ is we came up there to hike and explore when the drought hit and there was an extreme burn ban going on. Other than that it was still a memorable hike and experience. Would definitely come back when we could.

*Edit Came back this past weekend to check out Waterfalls and since we've been having a lot of rain lately I finally got to see the Canyon flowing and flowing quite well. It's is just as beautiful filled as is just Rock bed to go around and hike on.

Beautiful!! This place is great to go and just hang out meditate just being nature you don't have to worry about too many people there you might see two or three passing by if you are out walking the path it's great to take your animal for a walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery just be careful and look down and don't trip on a rock because it is a very long way down on those cliffs..

Pleasant surprise! Nice gem in AL. Little River Trail very nice. It’s rocky and a nice river at the end to jump in. The scenic rim route also very nice. A couple of volunteer rangers on site too.
