The hike is amazing. I went on a Wednesday and didn't really see anyone. The trail is well maintained. There are some rocky areas and spots with exposed roots, but it's easy to get past them.

Such a beautiful waterfall. The first one this year I will be visiting as I have a list of waterfalls in Al and this one didn’t disappoint. I’m happy I came while it was in the 50s outside because of the detail of trail later down because there are is a lot of steps up and down. I struggled a little lol but it was all worth it. Especially after all the rain that we got yesterday making the falls a lot bigger.

Such a beautiful scenic drive. Lots of rocks, waterfalls wildlife with gorgeous overlooks.
Any day in Little Rock Canyon is amazing. But when you just have less time try driving from the mouth of the canyon to the end. Such a great relaxing drive with lots of pull offs to enjoy the canyon view even more intimately. Driving the canyon gives you a bit more insight about all the different activities you can do, it could include hiking trails, walking areas, views etc.

This place is just incredible. It is a must see in the southeast. Quite the gem in Alabama. We went rappelling and had a fantastic time. I recommend driving the road that goes around the rim of the canyon. Great drive and beautiful scenery.

Absolutely breathtaking! This is one of the places where you can find God and all his glorious creations! One of my Top 5 places where I can find peace and tranquility

Love this place. It is very clean and well taken care of. It is one of the most beautiful places in the state. Water is clean enough to swim in. Great hiking to do here as well.

Absolutely beautiful and perfect spot to swim for the afternoon. This offers a short hike down to the base of the falls or river access to the top of the falls for families with littles. The hike is short, but there are rock steps that would be difficult for small children to climb on the way up (and also hard for parents to carry their kiddos). Both the top of the falls and bottom offer lots of places to sit in the water, wade, or swim!

Wonderful experience! The views of the canyon and waterfalls is spectacular! Just wish the visitor center was open on Monday. Mushroom Rock was cool! Too bad people spray painted graffiti on the boulders.

We were staying in Ten Mile, Tennessee, and decided to drive to the Lodge Cast Iron store in South Pittsburg. Afterwards, we decided to cruise down to Alabama to see the Little River Canyon, and we were not disappointed! The drive down was as beautiful as the canyon! Could've done without all the graffiti on the mushroom rocks. Rangers were everywhere, which is good! It was a great day visit!

Always a wonderful destination. Saturday and Sunday can be extremely busy in spring months. This past weekend there were tons of folks swimming. The Blue Hole across from Little River Falls is a perfect place for a picnic, swimming, and fishing.

The falls were low in water due to lack of rain in the area, but still beautiful even on a rainy day.

Nice park. Beautiful falls! The scenic drive was nice. Several of the overlooks needed some trimming done. The hike from the park center/office to the falls was very weedy and had not been maintained. I suggest just driving over to the falls parking lot.

Beautiful waterfall right off 35. No problem visiting the visitor center and little river observation overlook parking with our 30’ trailer (leaving the observation area is a little tricky). RV parking in both locations. Walk to the observation is handicap accessible.

Great swimming and clear waters. Rocks are super slippery so be careful. Waterfall is great, short hike, water is clean. Small fishes in water. Somehow every snake there swam to me. Photo is of a baby one I saw. Scary 😨

Unexpectedly chilly for the end of May so we took the opportunity to hike instead of swim. Beautiful views and despite the amount of people we felt alone on the trails. Very enjoyable place to spend the day. Bring some bug spray and check for ticks because we did find a few crawling on us but that's just part of an outdoor adventure. 😉

Very pretty waterfall with very nice walkways. Was not flowing near as well as it could’ve but nonetheless it was still a very nice and enjoyable experience

My Daddy has been taking me here since I was a kid and now I bring my kids here. The views are amazing! It's free to get in. You can either swim at the top or climb/hike down to the bottom of the falls and swim/explore. What ever you choose to do you and your crew will have a great time and have awesome memories. Please PICK UP YOUR TRASH when you leave!

The 2nd most beautiful waterfall in Alabama for me. Dosto is one of the best waterfalls which is 20 mins drive. Little river waterfall is absolutely recommended as it is completely safe.
