Little River Falls is located off Highway 35 next to the bridge in Gaylesville, Alabama (the bridge is the boundary between Gaylesville and Fort Payne). The Alabama Department of Transportation is in the process of replacing the bridge. You are still able to visit the area but please be aware of the reduced speed zones.
This is the first stop to make on your scenic tour of the park entering from the north. The formation of Little River Canyon begins here with the 45-foot waterfall.
A paved semi-steep trail leads to an overlook of the falls.
The amount of water going over the falls depends on the amount of rainfall. In the winter and early spring the water level is high. Kayakers love this time of year because they can kayak the river. The water level is low in the summer and fall. No matter the season; Little River Falls is a very beautiful place to visit.
There are picnic tables and grills located in a shaded area next to the parking lot.
Restrooms (no running water) are located at the end of the parking lot.
There is a 50-car paved parking lot.
The Alabama Department of Transportation is in the process of enlarging the parking lot. Parking will be allowed during construction but the number of spaces will be reduced until the work is completed.
This area is closed after dark. No parking is allowed when the park is closed. Camping is not allowed in this area.
There is no charge for this area.
