Little River Falls is located in Little River Canyon, a National Preserve managed by the National Park Service. It is located just southwest of DeSoto State Park in the Appalachian Mountains of North Alabama.

Like other National Park Service properties, such as the Great Smoky Mountains, more people visit in autumn than any other time of the year. This year, however, was a weak year for color due to low rainfall levels in the summer and fall. But it still made for a beautiful early November outing into nature and out of the city’s suburbs.

The bridge overlooking the waterfall was recently renovated and now sports a wide walkway and several scenic benches.

The quaint town of Mentone is also nearby, home of the recently re-opened Mentone Springs Hotel, now managed by L.C. Moon, the owner of the Wild Flower Cafe.

Then, if you want to catch some blues or rock ‘n’ roll nearby, try the Main Street Deli in Fort Payne.
