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.

The waterfall is estimated to be about a 400-foot drop, one of the tallest waterfalls in the Carolinas.
