Little River Road Access provides multiple scenic pullouts and access points along an 18-mile scenic drive through Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with designated stops including Metcalf Bottoms picnic area (featuring tables, grills, and restrooms), the Townsend Wye swimming area where two river branches meet, and The Sinks with dramatic rapids and a popular swimming hole.

The road follows the Little River closely with numerous parking areas and short "Quiet Walkways" offering easy access to the river for paddlers and anglers, though the road itself can take up to an hour to traverse and becomes congested during peak summer months.
