Join DeSoto State Park & Little River Canyon National Preserve Staff for a fun day of hiking thought-out the park to see some of DeSoto’s waterfalls, big & small. See Lost Falls, Laurel Falls, Indian Falls, Lodge Falls, even more water features like Laurel Creek & the West Fork of Little River. Come on out and burn those calories while enjoying the Great Outdoors!				The loop trail would be moderate, rugged terrain over 5 to 6 miles total. An optional side-trip to take at the end of the hike would be to drive to DeSoto Falls, an 104 foot waterfall located 6 miles away from DSP’s Country Store.

*Part of Scale Back Alabama, a statewide weight-loss contest with a purpose to encourage Alabamians to lose weight, to exercise and to have fun while doing it. See www.scalebackalabama.com for more details.
