The preserve's main feature is of course Little River Canyon, which is best known as the "Grand Canyon of the East." Even though this beautiful canyon, which is approximately 12 miles long, attracts numerous people during the warmer months, it's definitely seen its fair share of visitors after the arrival of winter.
