This section of Little River is the most-known whitewater run in Alabama. Begin by putting in just above the AL 35 bridge above Little River Falls (shown here), or you have the option of putting in just below the falls if you choose to bypass the 33-foot double drop. WIth plenty of class III and IV rapids nearly the whole way, a few distinctive class Vs and multiple drops and waterfalls, this trip is for highly experienced paddlers only. Some of the main features along this route include; Little River Falls, Mammoth Rock Rapid, Avalanche Rapid, Cable Falls, and Pinball Rapids. Scouting is recommended. 250cfs is the required water flow amount with 500cfs being the better (6-8’’ water level on gauge). The take out is located at Eberhart Point (shown here), but can be connected with lower sections of Little River.
