A twenty minute hike along the Chauga river will get you to these beautiful cascades.
Directions to the falls:
1. From Walhalla drive west on SC 28 for 6.6 miles and turn left onto Whetstone Road (Oconee County S-37-193). (Just before the Mountain Top Trading Post).
2. Drive 3.8 miles to Blackwell Bridge (this bridge crosses the Chauga River) and park beyond the bridge.
3. Hike 0.6 mile downstream to the falls on a faint path that parallels the river.
(Caution: At approximately 0.5 mile the river curves right and the dirt path becomes rock. The wet areas of these rocks can be very slippery.)
