About this swimming hole
A large county-park spring swimming hole flowing a short distance into the Suwannee River, Little River is a local institution. Steps descend past a viewing platform to emerald water flowing from a limestone cave system popular with scuba divers. There's no fee, and the park opens late on Tuesdays for maintenance.
