** OVERNIGHT CAMPING NO LONGER PERMITTED**
Amazing place to visit. 4 unique waterfalls on a short and easy trail. Two amazing swimming holes. This is a must see attraction. Very kid friendly and peaceful place to go. Beautiful beyond words.
Brasstown Falls is one of the best falls in SC in my opinion. It's a short hike at .58 miles with so much to see. This location has 4 waterfalls and each one is worth seeing. The very bottom waterfall has a nice swimming hole if you want to take a dip.
The area was easy to drive to. The dirt road in is your typical curvey slightly narrow at times road. The road dead ends at the trail head. I drove my Dodge Charger and had no problems. Parking was not a problem even though it was a very popular place the day I went. The trail is well kept. The upgrade they have done to the area is great. Steps and platforms for viewing are very user friendly. Although they is a steep short ladder stair that might be a challenge for some. My beagle went with me and she did great on the trail. We enjoyed the last swimming hole at the last fall. The hike is under a mile out and back. Very happy I decided on the spur of the moment outing. We were there about 1.5 hours just hanging out taking pictures.
This is a stunning place. The 3 falls each offer something unique and two have pools you can swim or get wet in. The hike is 1/2 mile down and then up to get back but the trail goes from up to level repeatedly so you can catch your breath before you ever get winded. While the trail is easy some of the stairs are really a ladder and were difficult for some in our group but they managed. Also make sure you use this point for navigation and not the Brasstown Falls point as it takes you to a back way that is closed.
