Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The De Soto National Forest is dominated by gently rolling hills that are most often covered in pine trees and gently flowing streams.

This national forest is frequented by both locals and tourists, and offers many activities to inspire even the most adamant city dweller. Year round activities include hiking, bicycle trail (and off trail) riding, camping, canoeing, ATV adventures, horseback exploration, hunting, fishing, and even camping.

There are over 60 miles of trails to explore, offering hikers a large variety of difficulty and length for their expeditions.

The area is prone to flooding and storms, however, so it is recommended to contact the park directly before planning a visit.
