A Ride Down This Epic Natural Waterslide In South Carolina Will Make Your Summer Complete

Who doesn’t love a waterfall? We posted this article in 2016 listing seven beautiful waterfalls hiding in plain sight in South Carolina – meaning they don’t require hiking to get there. Here’s another. It’s located just off the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway (SC-11) in an underrated little roadside park. Only this one is different from the other seven. This one has a natural water slide in the waterfall and you’ll want to try it out after you’ve seen it. Take a look:

Adults and kids alike love the waterfall's smooth surfaces, and the shallow pool at the bottom. On any given day you could end up waiting in a short unattended line for your turn, but the wait is worth it to cool off on this slide.

If you're looking for this park, make sure to study this photo of the entrance because you could pass it very easily and end up lost - even though there's a brown sign that clearly names the park.

Also, and this is very important, if you Google the name of this park to get the location, you will certainly be lost. Google Maps has it in the wrong place. However, the above map we created using Google Maps IS CORRECT. Use this link to navigate to the park and you should be able to find it.

Some people prefer to bring inner tubes or other floats for the ride down the slide - and that's okay. No one's there to judge.
