Little River Canyon National Preserve

Despite its name, the Little River Canyon National Preserve is the 15,288-acre preserve. It is located in northeast Alabama, near the Georgia border, in the Southern Appalachians.

The Little River, which originates in northwest Georgia, is said to be the longest river in the United States to run atop a mountain, in this case, Little Top Mountain.

A visit to Little River Canyon National Preserve would be incomplete without you spending some time watching the local fauna. Anglers may enjoy superb fly-fishing chances in the river, while hunters must be patient while seeking deer and turkeys. Birdwatchers will be in for a treat as well since the preserve is home to 142 different kinds of birds.

Kayaking, hiking, biking, and horseback riding are available in the Little River Canyon National Preserve.
