When people think of Alabama, they probably don’t realize all the natural beauty that it has to offer. Alabama has almost 2 dozen state parks for the public to enjoy, and each of them has its own characteristics and incredible activities! So, if you’re ever passing by, stop and check out these fun state parks!

Desoto State Park

This state park has a little bit of everything for everyone, which is amazing! You can really personalize your trip because of all the different types of activities you can do. If you love watersports, you can go kayaking, fly-fishing, or swimming in the natural waters or in the Olympic size pool seasonally.

If you’d rather enjoy nature from a restaurant, you can enjoy the Desoto State Park Mountain Inn Restaurant. Whatever floats your boat, this state park has it for you.
