Falls Loop
This loop trail is located in DeSoto State Park and uses three trails to take you to
some impressive waterfalls and geologic features. The trails and their namesake
falls (Lost Falls, Laurel Falls, and Azalea Cascade) are simply beautiful as they
cascade over jagged rock walls. The trails also take you past rock outcroppings,
bluffs, and a few rock shelters, and near Azalea Cascade, you'll be walking through
walls of beautiful azaleas, rhododendrons, and mountain laurel.
