and a special Flashback to 2007 with the Dickersons

Located in the Jocassee Gorge Wilderness Area of South Carolina, just north of Pickens, is the beautiful Twin Falls. It is one of the most picturesque waterfalls in South Carolina and, as the name suggests, consists of two waterfalls that form Reedy Cove Creek. The falls splits as it flows over a rocky cliff. It is an easy quarter of a mile hike with very little elevation change and leads to an observation deck that provides a great viewing spot for the falls.

The trailhead to Twin Fall is located at the end of Water Falls Road in Sunset South Carolina. It is a beautiful drive getting there and very easy to find as it is only about 3 miles off highway 178 in between Highway 11 and the North Carolina border. From Highway 178, turn onto Cleo Chapman Hwy and follow it until the road T’s. Go right and then look for Water Falls Road which will be your first right after the T. Water Falls Road is narrow and it might look like a driveway but it is indeed the road to the falls.

The two RV Gypsies found this to be an easy, short 1/4 mile hike along a mostly flat trail that parallels Reedy Cove Creek the entire way. However, on this date in 2022, the two RV Gypsies came to a spot where a giant tree had previously fallen across the path. But it was still crossable.

Below: 2022 Views from the observation deck. The waterfall on the left descends an impressive 75 feet over the large stone cliff. The waterfall on the right is more of a series of cascades and may even break into multiple streams as the water works its way down the slope. It is a beautiful sight and definitely worth checking out.
