DeSoto Falls Picnic Area is located 7 miles away from the main park area. Located just off the Lookout Mountain Parkway, the waterfall is reached via a paved pathway & staircase that leads a few hundred yards from the parking lot down to the railed overlook overlooking the gorge. The historic A. A. Miller Dam & the upper falls can be seen by visitors of all abilities, but the lower or main waterfall requires a walk down concrete stairs to the overlook. There is no access to the bottom of the waterfall via DeSoto Falls Picnic Area. The DeSoto Falls site is open daily during daylight hours. Visitors will enjoy a beautiful lake, picnic area and other facilities as well as the waterfall. The amount of water going over the falls depends on the amount of rainfall. In the winter and early spring the water level is high. During the summer and early fall, the water level is much lower. External links
