Photo Suggestions

Best time to photograph the falls is in morning.
 
There are plenty of points that you can photograph the falls from.  You can step on some stable rocks and photography it while in the creek, or you can photograph it from the side.
 
There is a bench at the top of the falls on the trail that offers a good framing photograph when the leaves are present.
 
There is also a unique rock wall that can be photographed, however, you can not see the falls from this position.


Driving Tips and Other Information

The falls are located in Greenville County Pleasant Ridge County Park about 5 miles from Jones Gap and Caesar's Head state parks.
 
This is a small double tiered falls.  The first section drops about 8 feet down a tiered cascade, then flows another 25 feet before coming to the second tier.  Then it drops off about 15 feet.
 
Once you turn into the park (SC Hwy 187), take the first left to Shelter Number 1 and park

Cross a small bridge and  stay to the left.  Go to the end of the grassy area.  There you will see a sign Leroy Smith Nature Trail.  Follow the trail for approximately .02 miles and you will come to the falls.
 

Bathroom facilities available near the parking area.
