DeSoto State Park

Continuing in the rustic tradition of the Civilian Conservation Corps, DeSoto State Park is nestled atop beautiful Lookout Mountain in northeast Alabama. The park is accented by rushing waterfalls, fragrant wildflowers, and stunning mountain scenery that draws visitors from across the Southeast.

The park offers hiking trails, swimming, fishing in Little River, mountain biking, picnicking, and camping. In spring, DeSoto State Park is famous for its spectacular wildflower blooms — azaleas, mountain laurel, and hundreds of other native species. Fall brings brilliant foliage that rivals the best in the Appalachians.

DeSoto State Park is just minutes from Bear Creek Log Cabins — combine a stay at our authentic log cabins with days of exploration in one of Alabama’s finest state parks.
