DeSoto Falls is a plunge waterfall in Alabama with a documented drop of 104 ft (32 m).
Its water comes from West Fork Little River. You'll find it in DeKalb, Alabama. It is protected within Alabama State Parks (DeSoto State Park).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Mentone, the closest town.
When to go: Winter and early spring (high flow). Like most waterfalls, DeSoto Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
