This South Carolina Waterfall Is So Hidden, Almost Nobody Has Seen It In Person

The waterfalls in the upstate area of South Carolina are among the most visited spots there. And there are many to choose from, including some that are not so easy to find. In fact, there are even waterfalls named Hidden Falls and Secret Falls because of the challenge it is to get to them or find them. But one of the secret waterfalls in South Carolina is positioned in such a way that likely no one has seen it except from a distance.

Slicking Falls is located in the northwestern part of Greenville County. Its coordinates are 35.0751° North and 82.7040° West.

It’s also located northwest of the Table Rock Summit, which is the best place to get a view of the falls.

The Table Rock Trail will get you to the top of Table Rock. A challenging 6.9-mile out-and-back trail in Table Rock State Park, it takes an average of about four and a half hours to complete and is open year-round.

About halfway up, you’ll come to a shelter that some have mistaken as being the end of the trail.

The best view from the top, though, is through the bushes, over the rock balds, and onto the eastern side of Table Rock to look out upon Caesar’s Head. This is also where those with a keen eye for waterfalls can get the only legal view of Slicking Falls across the reservoir.

The waterfall is estimated to be about a 400-foot drop, one of the tallest waterfalls in the Carolinas. Topographic data suggests that the falls may actually be considerably taller than originally thought, potentially as much as 600 feet overall. This would make Slicking Falls one of the tallest waterfalls in the southeastern United States.
