Good place to go be out in nature. Several hiking trails, few falls, lodges, ziplining camping etc. Trails may be wet or muddy in spots if recently rained. more »

Beautiful park and plenty of choices for activities with friends and family. We stayed at the motel and the room was large and clean. The only issue was the restaurant: not much choice, not very tasty, and they do not really offer what is said in the menu that you can find in any room. In any case, great experience ! I will come back 👍

We camped at the primitive campgrounds over the fourth of July weekend. We loved Desoto State Park! During our stay we visited Desoto Falls, swam at Little River Canyon, hiked a few trails, and enjoyed our campsite. They have all kinds of other activities and places to see in the park and surrounding area. Great place for families to enjoy the outdoors.
