Oconee County South Carolina Waterfalls
|
Located along a remote section of Cedar Creek within Sumter
National Forest, the 75' high Blue Hole Falls rushes down a
narrow gap and forms a blue pool at the bottom which gives the
falls it's name. Blue Hole Falls is reached by traveling 0.5
miles along a narrow trail from FS 744C.
To reach Blue Hole Falls from Walhalla, travel west along SC
28 for 6.6 miles and turn left onto Whetstone Road (County Road
S-37-193). Continue along Whetstone Road for about 0.8 miles and
turn left onto Cassidy Bridge Road (CR S-37-290). Follow Cassidy
Bridge Road for 0.9 miles and turn left onto the graveled Rich
Mountain Road (FS 744). Continue along Rich Mountain Road for
3.3 miles and turn right onto Cedar Creek Road (FS 744C). Travel
2.5 miles along Cedar Creek Road to FS 2658 (right side) and
park near the earth mound which partially blocks access to FS
2658.
Hike along FS 2658 for 0.3 mile to the "T" intersection and
turn right. Continue 0.2 miles to a steep path heading down to
the creek. Cross the creek and follow the path down to Blue Hole
Falls.
