Review:

Little River Canyon National Preserve was established in 1992 on the boundary of DeKalb and Cherokee Counties, in rugged northeast Alabama, surrounding the Little River Canyon.

The preserve covers 15,288 acres, which are mostly owned and managed by the federal government. Besides the spectacular Little River Canyon, the preserve includes the pristine Little River, a unique environment that provides home to many threatened and rare animals and plants.

Visitors to the preserve can enjoy swimming, climbing, fishing, and whitewater rafting. Canyon Rim Drive runs along the west edge of Little River Canyon, providing spectacular scenic drives along the road and magnificent views from a series of overlooks. Hunting and trapping are allowed on the preserve.
