South Carolina’s Most Easily Accessible Waterfall Is Hiding In Plain Sight At Chau Ram County Park

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.

And the best part??

This waterfall in the park is literally right by the paved parking area — making it easily accessible to just about everyone!

But this great waterfall isn't all of Chau Ram's charm.

If it's outdoor recreation that you seek, then you're in the right place at Chau Ram County Park.

The park is filled with three miles of trails offering creek side adventure you don't find just anywhere.

Found at the convergence of Ramsey Creek and the Chauga River, Chau Ram also doles out a full mile of river fun, including three rapids.

The V-rapid, the pumphouse rapid, and the can opener certainly liven things up if you're scooting down the Chauga on an inner tube! (You'll need to bring your own, though.)

And this still isn't all Chau Ram County Park has to offer!

What about camping? Yes, it has this, too! Reserve one of the 26 campsites (with electric and water) and spend the weekend - or longer!

Get to know this hidden county park with the accessible waterfall, the campground, picnic shelters, playgrounds, hiking, fishing, and more. You'll be so glad you did!
