South Carolina Waterfalls

I do hope you find something helpful or interesting, be it a new waterfall that you've never seen, updated trail info for some of the lesser traveled places or just a place to look at beautiful waterfall photos.

South Carolina is home to many beautiful and unique waterfalls, cascades and shoals. Ranging from the mystical Laurel Fork Falls, which pours directly into Lake Jocassee, Horseshoe Cove Falls in the Pee Dee area, which is the eastern most waterfall in the state, the dainty Peachtree Rock Falls in the Midlands, the impressive 400+ foot Raven Cliff Falls, to the powerful Lower Whitewater Falls on the Whitewater River, with so much more to discover.

Out of all counties in South Carolina that have documented waterfalls, cascades and shoals, Oconee County (known as the Golden Corner) has the most in the state, possibly holding over 800+ waterfalls.

Originally the Upstate was thought to be the only place that had waterfalls in the state, which has turned out to be wrong as waterfalls keep getting found in the Midlands and even the Pee Dee sections of the state, with some being 50+ feet tall.

Lower Whitewater Falls
The very top (1st) photo is the beautiful Virginia Hawkins Falls, the far left (2nd) photo is Mountain Cat Falls, the middle (3rd) photo is Middle Rachael Creek Falls and the far right (4th) photo is Lower Whitewater Falls.

Below is a map with all the named, unnamed and undocumented waterfalls in the state and further down is a list of all the waterfalls by county that I've visited in the state. The color of each marker corresponds with the type of property it is and by default the blue markers are on, the red, black, green and orange markers are hidden, to view them click the double arrows in the top left of the map and click each box that you want to see.
Blue = public property, red = private property, green = public unnamed / LiDAR, orange = private unnamed / LiDAR,
black = restricted property and restricted unnamed / LiDAR.
