Tucked securely off of Desoto Parkway, our scenic drive is about one-half mile past the entrance to the famous Desoto Falls and about three miles from the Desoto State Park entrance. We are surrounded by privately owned beautiful woodlands. Little River, which borders the Riverview campus, is a gently flowing waterway that is classified as an Outstanding National Resource Waterway. But, please…don’t just imagine… make Riverview a reality, give us a call and say I’m going to Riverview!
