Little River Canyon National Preserve is a United States National Preserve located on top of Lookout Mountain near Fort Payne, Alabama, and DeSoto State Park. Created by an act of Congress in 1992, the nearly 14,000-acre (5,700 ha) preserve protects what is sometimes said to be the nation's longest mountaintop river, the Little River. The canyon was historically called May's Gulf, gulf being a common term throughout the Cumberland Plateau for this sort of feature (e.g. Savage Gulf in Tennessee, or Trenton Gulf nearby in Georgia, now renamed Cloudland Canyon). The canyon is sometimes said to be the deepest canyon in the United States east of the Mississippi River. Prior to being assigned to the National Park Service, the canyon area formed the southmost unit of Alabama's DeSoto State Park.

JSU project director Pete Conroy narrates a short video of the Canyon Center's interior. Starting with a view of the pasture and forest behind the Center, see a glimpse of the spaces that will become the future museum, hallway to NPS offices, gift shop, front atrium, welcome desk, hallway to classrooms, auditorium and back to its NE view where a large outdoor deck will allow visitors to view wildlife and occasional concerts.
Little River Canyon National Preserve (Fort Payne)
The preserve sits at the southern edge of the #Cumberland #Plateau, a distinct physiographic region just to the west of the main #Appalachian #Mountain uplift. Composed of sandstone and other sedimentary rocks, this area has been eroded by water over millions of years to create a landscape of ridges, outcroppings, and gorges known as a #dissected #plateau. #Little #River #Canyon is one of the most spectacular landforms in this region, carved into the flat top of #Lookout #Mountain and reaching depths in excess of 600 feet in some sections. It is one of the #deepest #canyon systems east of the #Mississippi #River and the deepest in the state of #Alabama.
