Little River Canyon, AL
In northeastern Alabama, the
Little River snakes across the top of Lookout
Mountain before plummeting into
the 12-mile-long Little River Canyon. Bordered
by broad-faced cliffs, with
large blocks of sandstone jutting from the
water, this canyon—at 600 feet, the
deepest this side of the Mississippi—is home to a
handful of perfect swimming
holes. Just downstream from the Alabama Highway
35 bridge, follow the short
paved path to the bottom of Little River Falls
for an easy-access dunk when
water levels are low. (High water means
dangerous currents.) Or start at
Eberhart Point and hike 0.75 miles to the canyon
floor to Hippy Hole, where
rope swings dangle from trees and a series of
cliffs serve as springboards for
daredevils.
