Summary: I only travelled a small portion of the total length of this trail for this hike, turning off to view an awesome waterfall and hike alongside a beautiful boulder field w/ the river runnung through it and in some cases under huge boulders. My four year old son went for this trip and it was the perfect length and difficulty for him, rest assured us adults will love this one as well. The trail is mostly level except for the approach to the falls which runs uphill fairly steeply. I loved the steep terrain on both sides, it gives that isolated feel as you go. The right turn to the falls is not clearly marked but you can see a well worn path that parallels the small river. Hope you enjoy. See you on the trail!!! Trailhead: From Greenville S.C. travel north on Hwy 276 until it joins Hwy 11. Stay on highway 11 and turn right at the second enterance to Table Rock State Park. Enter the park and take the first left, follow the road to the barn and the trailhead parking/sign is at the back of the lot.

Reviewed by Jen on 3/2/2008 We searched for 2 hours and never found these falls! The park ranger said the falls were beautiful and he knew how to get to them. He also said he could not give us directions because the trail is so difficult to find. We ended up hiking to a different waterfall! Very fun trail! 
Reviewed by Viewer on 11/21/2007 Wow your 4 year old is a stud, lol. Don't let him fool ya the last part of this trail , through the boulder field is pretty strenuous. I thought I may have took the wrong trail and was ready to turn around when I noticed the very high waterfall. It was worth the trip. I also saw a very large whitetail buck. Not sure who was scared the most the buck or myself. I'm just glad he took of running. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
