One of the prettiest drives in all of South Carolina is a mere 20 miles in length but what it lacks in drive time, it more than makes up for in natural sights along the road. Found between Walhalla and the North Carolina border, the Oscar Wigington Memorial Highway winds up, over, and through the mountains and affords all who venture onto it astounding views and a wonderful connection to the great outdoors.
In every season, a ride along this underrated scenic drive in South Carolina is a treat for the senses.
Here is where your sense of wonder will be revived by the swift curves of the mountain roads and the lack of all things that breath stress into your life.
The road features many places to pull over and convene with Mother Nature, whether on a hike, seeing a waterfall, having a picnic, or just stretching your legs.

When you reach the Bad Creek overlook, you'll be mesmerized by the view.
Bad Creek is the upper lake to Jocassee and is part of the Jocassee Gorges area. And what a view it is! Oconee County prides itself on having this overlook and this view - so much so that it built a frame for your photos!
