As a large family, we find renting a home for a night much more relaxing than a hotel, and it's so nice to have a place nearby to crash after a long day of hiking! You can find nice, affordable homes on Vrbo.

Lodge falls is one of the beauties you can find behind DeSoto’s lodge at DeSoto State Park, a recreational park situated in Lookout Mountain northeast of Fort Payne. The park has a total land area of 3,502 acres which mainly comprises of waterfalls, rivers, mountain terrain and forests.

Lodge Falls found in DeSoto State Park is approximately 25 feet tall and is dependent on the rainfall. Walk behind the main lodge to the left, and you'll see the stream flowing towards Little River. Just to the left, you'll find a path down to the falls.

Your trip to Lodge Falls should also include a walk to Indian Falls and DeSoto Falls.  Plus, Little River National Preserve is just down the road with Little River Falls, Martha's Falls, and Grace's High Falls.
