Lookout Mountain Parkway Series Post 2: Little River Canyon National Preserve

Frugal Family Travelers have been taking readers on a journey through the Lookout Mountain Parkway and along the way have been highlighting areas off the beaten path!   At the heart of the Lookout Mountain Parkway is the Little River Canyon National Preserve.   Within the preserve you will have access to numerous trails, swimming areas, the Little River Canyon, Little River Canyon Center and the spectacular Little River Falls.  Beauty abounds in the preserve.   You will want to plan adequate time to soak up all that it offers.
