Looking Glass Falls

Looking Glass Falls was certainly one of the prettier and easy-to-access waterfalls we’ve seen during our time in Brevard. As a result, this 60ft falls was definitely popular. I have to believe…

Hooker Falls

Hooker Falls was the first of three waterfalls on the Little River we visited (the other two being Triple Falls and High Falls) while touring DuPont State Forest. What this falls lacked in height…

Triple Falls

Triple Falls was the second of three waterfalls on the Little River we visited while touring DuPont State Forest. Like its name says, it consists of three distinct tiers all cascading at different…

High Falls (DuPont State Park)

High Falls was the last of three waterfalls (though it have been four given a little more time) on the Little River we visited in DuPont State Forest. This one was probably the most impressive of…

Reedy Cove Falls (Twin Falls)

Reedy Cove Falls is a pretty twin waterfall resulting from Eastatoe Creek splitting somewhere upstream. The result is you have one branch plunging some 70ft or so with the remaining branch…

Raven Cliff Falls

Raven Cliff Falls is said to be South Carolina’s tallest waterfall. It’s said to have a drop of around 400ft though some have disputed this claim saying it’s more on the order of 320ft or so…

Second Falls (Lower Falls)

Second Falls (also referred to as Lower Falls according to the signs here) was essentially our waterfalling excuse to check out the popular Graveyard Fields stop while driving the gorgeous Blue…

Upper Falls (Graveyard Fields)

Regarding Upper Falls in the Graveyard Fields, I suppose I could have combined this page with that of Second Falls. However, considering that it was quite a bit of a detour just to reach this…

Lower Whitewater Falls

Lower Whitewater Falls is a smaller version of its bigger brother the Upper Whitewater Falls further upstream and across the state border. This 200ft waterfall that cascades and plunges in a…

Rainbow Falls

Rainbow Falls (the one we’re talking about here is on the Horsepasture River) was true to its name as we happened to show up a little after high noon when it produced bright rainbows…

Bridal Veil Falls

Bridal Veil Falls was certainly one of those roadside waterfalls we couldn’t have missed even if we tried! For starters, it was roadside next to a busy highway. However, it also had that rare…

Dry Falls

Dry Falls (like the nearby Bridal Veil Falls) was another roadside waterfall. But instead of driving behind the waterfall, this one lets you go behind it the old fashioned way – by walking!

Glen Falls

Glen Falls was really a series of three main waterfalls all on the same creek. The first two big drops were probably the most photogenic. There was also a third drop, but it’s debatable whether…

Upper Whitewater Falls

Upper Whitewater Falls was definitely a waterfall that left a lasting impression on us. In addition to its impressive stature, it was the forceful volume and the presence of Autumn colors that…

Issaqueena Falls

Issaqueena Falls appeared to have somewhat diminished flow despite the rains that preceded our visit. Nonetheless, the falls did exhibit some of that “character” that Julie likes point to…

Yellow Branch Falls

Yellow Branch Falls seemed to be almost like a virtual twin to Issaqueena Falls as they both possessed similar character and they were also similar in height (I believe this one is said to be 40…

King Creek Falls

King Creek Falls is a nice 60-70ft waterfall (though I did see someone else say it was 75ft) with a satisfying flow and shape that made us wish we had brought a tripod (we ended up having to hold…

Minnehaha Falls

Minnehaha Falls was Julie’s favorite waterfall in Georgia as it possessed what Julie described as “having character.” It cascaded over a series of steps surrounded by beautiful and contrasting…

Amicalola Falls

Amicalola Falls is said to be the tallest waterfall in the state of Georgia (and proclaimed to be the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi River) at a cumulative drop of about 729ft…

Anna Ruby Falls

Anna Ruby Falls was perhaps the largest of the waterfalls we saw in Georgia when we considered the sum of its parts. The falls consisted of a confluence of two waterfalls (a twin waterfall…
