Effective April 4, 2020 De Soto National Memorial’s visitor center, restroom facilities, and parking lot access will be closed to park visitors until further notice. Park trails and grounds will remain open. There will be limited trash pickup and dog waste bags resupply. We ask that visitors using park grounds to please try to carry out their own litter and waste when possible.
