There is a small parking area along Little River Gorge Road with access to Little River near Mannis Falls. The falls are on the opposite side of the creek and the creek was too swift and deep to safely cross without serious risk. However if you know where to look, you can see the falls from the opposite side of the creek.

Little River is too dangerous to cross.
Big boulders like this litter the riverbed.

This is a pretty big Hemlock.
I explored the creek a bit, then returned to the car to go to the next waterfall.
