Little River which flows into Lake Weiss winds through one of the deepest gorges east of the Mississippi River. The canyon plunges 700' down at its deepest drop and is more than 18 miles long. The Little River Canyon National Preserve was recently created by the U.S. Department of Interior, to preserve this beautiful landscape.
