About Little River Canyon

Protects one of the deepest canyons east of the Mississippi River and what is sometimes called the nation's longest mountaintop river. The preserve features waterfalls including DeSoto Falls, sandstone cliffs up to 600 feet high, and offers 23 miles of scenic rim drives with spectacular canyon views.
