Little River Canyon National Preserve

Among the best places to visit in Alabama, Little River Canyon National Park Preserve is one of them. Despite its name, the Little River Canyon National Preserve is anything but small. The 15,288-acre preserve is located in northeast Alabama, near the Georgia border, in the Southern Appalachians. It is notable for a variety of reasons, including the flow of its river, which runs almost entirely atop a mountain. The river's water quality is also exceptional. The preserve is also well-known for the variety of its flora and fauna.

The Little River Canyon National Preserve is one of Alabama's most popular outdoor tourist attractions, attracting approximately 800,000 visitors per year. The variety of activities available at the park contributes significantly to the park's popularity. Thrill seekers can go whitewater rafting on the mighty Little River, rock climbing, bouldering, or rappelling down sheer sandstone cliffs. Kayaking, hiking, biking, and horseback riding are more low-key options.

A visit to Little River Canyon National Preserve would be incomplete unless you spent some time observing the local wildlife. Anglers can enjoy excellent fly-fishing opportunities in the river, while hunters must be patient while looking for deer and turkeys. Birdwatchers will be in for a treat as well, as the preserve is home to 142 different species of birds.
