DeSoto Falls

DeSoto Falls is one of the tallest and most visited waterfalls in Alabama, and an absolute must-see for guests staying at Bear Creek Log Cabins on Lookout Mountain. The waterfall plunges an impressive 107 feet into a beautiful pool below, surrounded by lush forest and dramatic rock formations.

Named for Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto, DeSoto Falls is located within DeSoto State Park on Lookout Mountain near Fort Payne, Alabama. A short, scenic trail leads visitors from the parking area to the overlook and down to the base of the falls. The falls are particularly spectacular after heavy rainfall.

DeSoto Falls is just a short drive from Bear Creek Log Cabins — one of the natural wonders that makes staying on Lookout Mountain near Fort Payne, Alabama such a special experience.
