Scenic drive along the Little River Canyon National Preserve


23 Oct 2019


Since the Little River Canyon scenic drive was very close to the Desoto State Park, we decided to travel part of the route after stopping at a ranger station to get advice on driving the route in our motorhome.  They were very helpful and pointed out the sections we should avoid and went over the route with us.  Our first stop on the drive was the Little River Falls.  Like the Desoto Falls, there was not much water flowing due to the dry conditions. 








The river canyon was carved out by over a million years of water flow that resulted in the 550-foot canyon that can be seen today.  The drive over the suggested section was no problem, however, many of the scenic pull offs were very rough with deep holes and rocks which were not safe for the motorhome.  We still enjoyed the drive and canyon views.

Maybe not much water, but the scenery in autumn is fantastic!
