Written Directions

Start the route about 6 miles southeast of Fort Payne, AL where AL Route 35 meet's AL Route 176 (Little River Canyon Pkwy). From there just follow Route 176 south as it heads down to the Canyon and on to the end point at Dog Town.

Scenery

A nice twisty road along the rim of the beautiful Little River Canyon.

Drive Enjoyment

Challenging, well paved road, winding road with some twisty and sweepers that is a blast to ride!

Tourism Opportunities

Many scenic pull-off spots with picnic tables and places to get food and gas are available in the surrounding towns.

My hubby and I just got back from a quick weekend trip to ride this route. Unfortunately the park is by appointment only which we did not know in time to schedule. We did get to ride the route and take some great pictures. The ride is nice and curvy with some great sites. It just wasn't long enough! My only real critic is that the overlook parking areas are in terrible shape for a motorcycle. The main overlook had so many potholes there was no way to avoid them! Add to that a mix of uneven pavement/gravel which made parking a lot more difficult.

Some spots tough for a cruiser when it came to grades but manageable. What views! Did the entire loop back to starting point.

Great ride! Scenic, good pavement, curvy with several places to pull off to view the canyon and take pics. Be sure to check out Big Time Cafe 15726 AL Hwy 176, its a GREAT place to eat! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but food is fantastic, the servings are generous and the price takes you back in time. Daily specials are $5.25! One the best value little mom n pop diners I've ever come across!
