The John Little State Reserve is a state park and protected area in Big Sur, California. It was created as a means to preserve the area, rich with scenic beauty and unique natural qualities.

Mostly protecting a portion of steep, rugged cliffs right on the Big Sur coast where the Lime Creek meets the Pacific Ocean, the John Little State Reserve also aims to provide outdoor fun and entertainment to the public. It makes the scenic and natural values of the area available to everyone.

Aside from the scenery, the John Little State Reserve is also where you?ll find the 1917 cabin where the early conservationist Elizabeth K. Livermore lived for quite some time. Camping and picnicking are also commonly done in the site.
