The eleven mile developed scenic drive is located on the western side of the canyon along Highway 176 (off Highway 35).  This area is located near Fort Payne, Alabama.

The developed scenic drive begins with Little River Falls Boardwalk Overlook and ends at Eberhart Point Overlook.

The canyon drive continues on County Road 148 (DeKalb County)/275 (Cherokee County) to the Canyon Mouth Day Use Area. Although there are no developed overlooks along this drive, the scenery is amazing at some places. This road is newly surfaced, but very steep. RV's and buses should exercise caution or avoid County Road 148/275 entirely.

The Scenic drive allows the visitor to view the splendor of the canyon from a series of overlooks.

Each overlook has a pull-off to park and enjoy the scenery; very little walking is required.

Touring the scenic drive and the overlooks is free of charge. It is open during daylight hours. No one is allowed in these areas after dark.
