Summary: This a great little workout, a bit much for the toddlers but okay for the pre teen crowd. The hike starts uphill and stays that way for a good while. There are some flat stretches mixed in abd a couple stream crossings. Being this short the hike reaches the falls before your to tired to enjoy the falls and they are beautiful. You can cross at the base of the falls and hike up the trail on the other side for a great pinic spot. The water was high on this date and we decided to climb up the cables to the upper part of the falls, look for larkspur on the river banks, they were blooming on New Years eve when we went. A great workout with an awesome payoff. Enjoy, See you on the trail Trailhead: If you come from Greenville S.C. head north on Hwy 276 past Hwy 11 intersection and continue to River Falls Rd. on your right.

Reviewed by Kristin on 6/29/2008 I love the waterfall view! Well worth it afer the uphill climb!! The uphill climb was quite a work out. I felt great completing it. 
Reviewed by Reta on 10/10/2007 The upward incline was a little tough but well worth it. I even crossed over the creek and hiked further through a magnolia forest.
Reviewed by Ed on 9/21/2006 Hike described well. Steep at beginning and end. Falls were awesome. Couldn't get to the upper level due to a large yellow jacket nest under some rocks at the trail.
