Experience yoga while enjoying the beauty that is Desoto State Park. Walk along the park’s boardwalk trail, following Laurel Creek. Listen to the sounds of Azalea Cascade as instructor Destin Padgett guides you in slow & easy yoga poses.
What to know: Yoga poses are alignment based which makes them perfect for those beginning or continuing their yoga practice. Dress for the weather, and bring a yoga mat or towel, water & snack.
About the walk: The boardwalk trail is ADA-accessible 1,000-foot-long boardwalk with benches along the way. The walk is considered easy, ending at a large platform overlooking Azalea Cascade for a relaxing yoga class. INFO

NATIONAL MOTH WEEK-JULY 22nd-30th
National Moth Week celebrates the beauty, life cycles, and habitats of moths. “Moth-ers” of all ages and abilities are encouraged to learn about, observe, and document moths in their backyards, parks, and neighborhoods

Moths are among the most diverse and successful organisms on earth, Scientists estimate there are 150,000 to more than 500,000 moth species. Anyone who’s ever sat near a streetlight or porch light on a summer evening has seen the effect that light has on moths—they love it! You can use this use this behavior to easily observe night-flying moths. All you need is a light source, a surface for moths to rest on, and a dry, still evening outside.
Join DeSoto State Park Staff and guest Stott Noble during National Moth Week for an opportunity to observe different species and add to our biodiversity list in Alabama. Stott will be set up with a sheet and light and you can come and go as you wish!
