Twin Falls/Eastatoe Falls

Reviewed By kimbD8303MI - Newnan, United States

They are only about a half a mile hike in( all level) - and very worth it. There is a platform there for viewing, but many people go over the side to get closer to the falls for pictures. Even with little rain lately the falls had plenty of water. I will definitely be going back with my camera next time. It was very pretty with the leaves changing colors this past weekend.

Yellow Branch Falls

Reviewed By Papa-Ratzo

Today I spent the entire day with my wife (of 21 years this month) hiking 5 waterfalls, a 1850's incomplete railroad tunnel, and a historic park. We logged approximately 8 miles and our award for favorite destination of the day goes to Yellow Branch Falls. Here's what we loved: + It is a popular waterfall for both people and pets! Plenty of cute doggies to play with along the trail. + Because it's popular, it didn't feel remote and dangerous, making my non-hiker wife feel more comfortable. + Parking was plentiful + Restroom facility + Wide & spacious trail for the most part and easy to follow + Woods were not dense with foliage and lines of sight were sometimes well over 100 yards. + Creek crossings were easy as the trail made use of bridges, stepping stones and even downed trees. ++ And the biggest reason of all, A STUNNING WATERFALL as a reward for your 1.5 mile efforts. YELLOW BRANCH FALLS is only 50 feet tall, but feels so much larger because its multi-tiered face is about 80 feet wide! It is a magnificent specimen of a waterfall due to the fact that you can not only see ALL of it head on, but it also has an easy to photograph side profile. The reward of a gorgeous waterfall coupled with a pleasant trail that feel like Red Riding Hood's walk to grandma's house makes this our top hike of the day! Our other hikes today included nearby: - Lick Log Falls - Pigpen Falls - Issaqueena Falls - Station Cove Falls (2nd favorite of the day) - Oconee Station Historic Site - Stumphouse Tunnel Be sure to stop by King Taco in Walhalla as a reward for all the calories you will burn on these hikes. Great tacos and burritos!

King Creek Falls

Reviewed By laurelw2015 - Middleburg, United States

We saw 7 falls this trip and this was one of our favorites. We parked at Burrells Ford campground and it was a 20-30min hike from there to the falls (start at the trailhead marker in the parking lot). We saw one cottonmouth snake and a baby king snake. Also there was a lot of poison ivy and oak on this trail. We are very happy we did this beautiful, short, and easy trail.

I've been to this falls many times, but lately the trail has become much more eroded so that the hike is almost a climb in some places. The falls is still beautiful and spectacular, though.

Issaqueena Falls

Reviewed By lbsealey - Raleigh, United States

The falls were a short walk to a viewing platform. The stream leading to the falls was shallow and was suitable for soaking you feet. It was a pleasant fall day, very peaceful and quiet. We were visiting in October. The signs giving the area's history history about the falls and the native peoples were super informative. The drive up was nice as well. We did not visit the Stump House Tunnel though were heard was interesting as well.

Station Cove Falls

Reviewed By jodit888 - Charleston, United States

Very easy hike. Even in January while snowing a little it was a very popular trail to explore, there were always people along the trail with us. The park ranger on site it very kind and informative and will talk your ear off! We loved talking to him for a bit. We began at the station entrance and had to cross a street to get to entrance of the waterfall trail. It’s not a busy street though so I worries there.
