For most visitors, the best way to explore Alabama's spectacular Little Rive Canyon National Preserve is by the paved scenic road that leads along the western rim of the canyon. Canyon Rim Drive (Alabama Highway 176) connects eight overlooks along an 11 mile stretch of Little River Canyon. They provide outstanding vistas of the canyon and its natural features, as well as picnic areas, restroom facilities and interpretive displays on the natural history of the park. The drive begins near Little River Falls where Alabama Highway 35 from Fort Payne crosses the Little River. After entering the national preserve, just watch for Highway 176 leading to your right. Little River CanyonCalled the "Grand Canyon of the East," the canyon is more than 11 miles long and up to 700 feet deep

Really glad I can't up here for the week to unwind.

This hampered our enjoyment considerably because it was difficult planning our days to research the area for things to do. We had to make 2-3 daily trips to the office to connect to WiFi. If I parked even 100' away from the office there was no service. And don't expect GPS accuracy. We often went into town about 8 miles away, but we were detoured a few times in the wrong direction trying to make our way back to the park - not the parks fault. If you have a mobile router, you will be fine and be able to enjoy all that Lookout Mountain has to offer.

I love the great outdoors and had every intention of going hiking, but ran into a few issues. To satisfy my desire to embrace the great outdoors I stopped by this place. The view is of the TN river and you must check it out. I honestly don't think the pictures do it justice. It's a small area but would be great for jogging or walking, having a picnic or simply taking in the scenery. I was also impressed by the fact that they have at room facilities available. I did not go into the restroom, but from the outside it appears new and clean. I highly recommend making the stop if you are in the area.

A spread of recreated buildings outside offers opportunities for perusal. The most aesthetically distinctive site is a large spring of the sort that seem more common in Kentucky than Tennessee, which evinces a robust blue color and empties into a clear stream. The spring itself is off-limits, but the stream is open for wading. All of these sites are within sight of the initial entrance, but a trek uphill reveals picnic areas, an amphitheater, and a couple of mile trail through the woods. Between the different elements of the park, it was easy to spend a couple of hours there, and best of all, it's free, though the gift shop warrants examination.

Nonetheless, something about it lured me in for a visit and I'm glad I ventured out here (on Indigenous People's Day coincidentally). Historically, it's really interesting that this was the last meeting site for the Cherokee tribe's council. The signs claim it is "where the Trail of Tears really began." I was really intrigued by the natural Spring called "the Blue Hole." I've never seen a spring that appears bright blue in a forest setting. Seeing this cool natural sight was pretty awesome. Also, I could just imagine the Cherokee using this spring water and being here hundreds of years before. Trail wise: Pretty flat and easy trails. It's not very challenging. But, it makes up for it because it's a calm place with beautiful forest. I loved walking around. Also, since this is small and off the beaten path, it's not crowded at all. Overall: highly recommended. Worth a visit!

Outside, there's a beautiful creek where you can splash, explore, and even catch crawfish -- which we did a lot of! You can also feed rainbow trout in the nearby stream, which the kids loved. One of the most unique and special things about this place is the fresh spring water. Locals and visitors line up to fill gallons of it because it's clean, natural, and totally drinkable right from the source. Of course we tried it -- and it really is some of the best-tasting water we've had! This place is a hidden gem and we'll definitely be back!
