RESERVATIONS | DESOTO STATE PARK
活动 & EVENTS | DeSOTO STATE PARK
Continuing in the rustic tradition of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), mountainous 德索托州立公园 is nestled atop beautiful Lookout Mountain in scenic Northeast 阿拉巴马州 and accented by many rushing waterfalls and fragrant wildflowers that will simply take your breath away.
Developed in the late 1930s, the hard-working and dedicated men of the CCC made many natural enhancements to the park that have withstood the test of time and will last for future generations. Come commune with Mother 自然 as 德索托州立公园 offers a family-friendly atmosphere that holds wonders for people of all ages!
德索托州立公园 is conveniently located only 8 miles northeast of Fort Payne, 阿拉巴马州; and DeSoto Falls - also part of 德索托州立公园 - is located about 7 miles north of the park heading towards Mentone, 阿拉巴马州.

Please see our written driving directions on the webpage 计划你的旅行. *Larger vehicles need to avoid Tutweiler Gap (off of Hwy 117), Wades Gap (Co. Rd. 604), Beasons Gap (off of Co. Rd. 89).
