DeSoto State Park along with Jacksonville State University Field School and Little River Canyon National Preserve team up to bring you a series of interpretive programs, hikes, and workshops intended to educate the public about all things nature!

  Come and visit DeSoto's Nature Center complete with Live Animals!

Campfire Talks are a series of educational & entertaining programs located in the great outdoors. Campfire programs are held almost every Friday & Saturday evening (May –October) in DeSoto’s James L. Wynn Campfire Ring in the Improved Campground. All programs are open & free to the public. Seating is limited, so bring your own comfortable chair if you wish. In case of bad weather, programs are moved inside. Contact: Brittney Hughes, Park Naturalist, for information on any programs.
