When it comes to waterfalls in South Carolina, it isn’t always easy to find one that’s even the least bit accessible to just about everyone. But there is a spectacular 40-foot waterfall tucked away in a hidden county park in Oconee County – and it’s very accessible!

Visitors to Chau Ram County Park in Westminster will find a variety of reasons to love, love, LOVE this park, including direct access (no hiking required) to a fantastic waterfall with a little swimming area at the base of the falls.
