Martha’s Falls, formerly known as Little Falls and dubbed the “Hippie Hole” by locals, is a popular swimming hole and picnicking area in the Little River Canyon National Preserve. Accessed by a short trail from a parking lot off Highway 35, near Road 861, the unique swimming hole is filled by the gentle waterfall that cascades down an angled slope from a little brook. The swimming hole is extremely popular and is often packed with people picnicking and swimming, so get there early to get a pleasant and shady spot among the rocks or on one of the naturally formed benches in this picturesque destination.
