in this river system. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. The beautiful scenery of Dekalb/ Cherokee County and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.

Briefly about the general area:
Needle Rock is an interesting thing to observe since you're here at Little River; Little River Falls is a great local attraction.
