Waterfall Info: This is one of several waterfalls in the DeSoto Falls Scenic Area. It's on an unnamed tributary of Frogtown Creek that flows from Cedar Mountain. Upper DeSoto Falls used to be known as Middle DeSoto Falls, but that was back when the real Upper DeSoto Falls was known as the waterfall on the next tributary to the north. The trail to that waterfall isn't maintained any longer, and that waterfall is now known as Old DeSoto Falls.
