Desoto Falls Picnic Area-DeSoto State Park
State park
👍👍 Depending on the water flow it’s somewhere between beautiful and stunning. Certainly worth the time and drive over if you are staying at DeSoto State Park or generally just in the area. I’d be nervous here with a small child, but that would be the only possible negative on the site.

PV Slaughterhouse Haunted Attraction
Haunted house
👍👍 Worth every penny! You won’t be disappointed. Props, costumes, actors and design were absolutely amazing start to finish. Once you leave the haunted house you enter thru a bus where you will meet “short bus” who is FABULOUS for the start of the outdoor addition, which was my personal favorite.
