  • I was over at Neels Gap doing some recon and decided to stop at the DeSoto Falls Recreation Area and take some pics of the Lower DeSoto Falls.
  • The trail begins between the toilets and the information kiosk.
  • Following the signs you cross Frogtown Creek on a pedestrian bridge and turn left at the welcoming sign.
  • The trail to the Lower Falls follows Frogtown Creek for a short distance.
  • The trail begins to climb through a series of switchbacks.
  • Even though the trail climbs 150 feet, it is an easy quarter-mile walk from the pedestrian bridge.
  • There is a wooden platform for your viewing pleasure and safety.
  • Water flow was pretty good today. Some of the photos I have seen are pitiful.

  • Just before you get to the viewing platform there is a nice 15 footer. It is a scramble to get down for a shot like this but it is easily viewed from the trail.
  • The track. I wonder if there are two more waterfalls farther upstream or if the topo is mis-marked?
