Waterfall Hikes

If you love waterfalls, there is no shortage of them nearby. The biggest and most spectacular is DeSoto Falls. This one can be viewed from DeSoto Falls State Park Picnic Area or two beautiful hikes, one to an over look and one to the bottom of the falls.

Another favorite waterfall hike is Indian Falls. Located in DeSoto State Park across from the Boatdwalk parking area you’ll find this beautiful falls and a beautiful view of Little River as well.

Lodge Falls is a great one to out when you visit the DeSoto Falls Lodge. Located behind the lodge, it is worth the short walk to see.

Hi, thanks for stopping by!

We happened upon this best-kept secret in North Alabama in 2017 when looking for a place to spend quality time with family.  The serene beauty of Mentone, AL along with its close proximity to Chattanooga, Huntsville, Birmingham, and Atlanta drew us in. 

 

Our family has spent as much time as possible on Little River by Desoto Falls ever since.  It has become a place of refuge and rest for our family and we have been blessed to have the opportunity to make countless memories in this extraordinary area of the state. 

We hope you and your family and friends will make as many wonderful memories here as we have.
