DeSoto Falls

This last summer we drove to Montgomery, Alabama from Maryland! We made a fun road trip out of it and made several stops along the way to see some sights.

Our first stop was DeSoto Falls in Fort Payne.


DeSoto falls is a 104 foot waterfall.

DeSoto Falls is located in Desoto State Park. Once you enter DeSoto State Park, there are signs that point you in the direction to get to the falls.


Admission to DeSoto State Park is free but we did pay $4 to park near the falls.


We only did the DeSoto Falls Bluff view trail. The first waterfall picture is actually DeSoto Falls.

The photo below is A.A. Miller Dam which we had to pass to see DeSoto Falls.

We unfortunately didn’t have enough time to hike to the bottom but the falls is beautiful.
