Sasquad hikes are selected for their uniqueness, solitude, and honoring local folklore. If you are looking for the most popular hikes, there are plenty of other websites that can help with that. We are looking for the trails less traveled. If you have ideas about hikes that should be on the page, let us know! If your hike is featured, we will send you free merch.
Desoto Falls Bottom and Bluff Overlook

Description
______________
This 1.9-mile, moderate out-and-back, trail has some impressive rock formations, caves, forested trail, and a small lake that is fed by a modest waterfall. You can also swim at the bottom of the falls, which always makes for an adventurous day! This hike is a little more trafficked than what we typically post, but if you go in the early morning, or less busy times during a weekday, you should still experience plenty of solitude. Read more.
