Little River National Preserve

Little River is located on the Cherokee and Dekalb County lines and is one of the newest of the national parks. It is sometimes called "The Little Grand Canyon," and is one of the deepest gorges east of the Mississippi River.

It is unique in that Little River, which runs thru it, forms and flows most of its length on top of a mountain. The canyon plunges 700 feet down at its deepest point, and stretches more than 18 miles. It varies in width from one half mile to a mile and a half. Spring rains bring out the kayaks and canoes, while fall is a favorite time for tourist to view the leaf color changes.
