Desota Falls 11632 viewsAt 104 ft DeSota is Alabama's tallest waterfalls.
It once was used for electrical generation and the remains of the plant foundation and pipe cradle can be seen from the viewing area.
Any waterfaller would love to descend to the bottom of the falls but, private property prevents it.
