America's Backyard Travel Gems | Hidden Arizona Oasis & How to Get There
Updated: Oct 1, 2019
Summer temperatures bring tropic vibes with white-sand river gushing warm water and refreshing private coves! Sound refreshing? C'mon Mon, Enjoy Little Jamaica!

America's backyard hides little known gem, "Little Jamaica," in the small community of Littlefield, Arizona! The hidden gem commonly known as Desert Springs, Littlefield Springs, or our personal favorite "Little Jamaica" is a hot spot for Littlefield locals.
A 1/4 mile walk from trailhead to water open to a swimming hole over the water, waterfalls, and plenty of natural beauty. The walk is pretty slippery so we highly recommend waterproof shoes with a good grip.
Little Jamaica is located under the highway. You will hear noise from the highway.
What To Bring:
Water (More than you think) and Snacks
Swimsuit/ Light Clothing
Four Wheel Drive is a good idea. We saw some cars, but suggest 4x4
Water Shoes (You can purchase a pair from Amazon by clicking here for under $25)
Trash bag
