Overview

I can't find any names for this waterfall, so I'm calling it Subterranean Falls as it's underground.

As of 1/25/2020, there's no longer water going over the top of the rocks, its now going under.

Driving Directions

From Kershaw, South Carolina. From the intersection of US-521, head east on US-601 for 8.5 miles and turn left onto Nature Reserve Road. Drive 0.8 miles and park on the right-side of the road in a small dirt area.

From Lancaster, South Carolina. From the intersection of US-521, head south on SC-903 (Chesterfield Avenue) for 16.2 miles and merge onto US-601. Drive 1.5 miles and turn left onto Nature Reserve Road. Drive 0.8 miles and park on the right-side of the road in a small dirt area.

From Pageland, South Carolina. From city center, head south to US-601 and turn right. Drive for 3.5 miles and turn left to stay on US-601. Drive 8.2 miles and turn right onto Nature Reserve Road. Drive 0.8 miles and park on the right-side of the road in a small dirt area.

Hiking Directions

From the parking. Head east and follow a unmarked trail for 0.22 miles to a large bare rock. Head northeast across the rock and pick the trail back up and follow it to the creek. (You'll pop out at a unnamed waterfall, that I'm calling Little Cedar Falls.) Head downstream and carefully rock hop and boulder your way on the left-side of the creek to a house size cave made by huge boulders. Once inside of the cave turn left to a dark narrow passage with water flowing out of it and head upstream through the passage to the waterfall. You'll need a flashlight to see as it's very dark inside the passage!
