Whitewater Falls, NC
Whitewater Falls is the highest waterfall east of the Rockies. The falls plunge an amazing 411 feet! South Carolina's Lower Whitewater Falls drops another 400 feet. Because of the escarpment's difficult access and rugged terrain, much of the area receives few visitors and has remained wild and undeveloped over the years.

Whitewater Falls near Lake Jocassee
Here is one of my favorite waterfalls near Lake Jocassee. I've been going here since the mid-80s and hasn't changed a bit. Whitewater Falls is the highest waterfall east of the Rockies. The falls plunge an amazing 411 feet! South Carolina's Lower Whitewater Falls drops another 400 feet. Because of the escarpment's difficult access and rugged terrain, much of the area receives few visitors and has remained wild and undeveloped over the years. In the cool, moist shade of steep slopes and rock cliffs, you will see rare wildflowers and salamanders along the banks. This wild land is also a perfect haven for a rich array of ferns, mosses, and fungi. Enjoy the beauty of berries and blooms throughout the seasons.
Featured in the foreground is Jocassee Valley, The award-winning book on the history and genealogy of now Lake Jocassee written by my good friend Claudia Whitmire Hembree. Claudia compiled over 40 years of interviews, Photos, and research to make the book. Jocassee Valley is The holy grail of books on Jocassee. You can order your own copy at.....

If you're a Jocassee fanatic like me, you will have endless hours of pleasure reading.
Hours: Dawn until dusk, year-round. Picnic tables and CLEAN Restrooms. Fee: $2 for vehicles with seven passengers or less; $1 per person for more than seven people traveling together in a vehicle. Paying for the daily pass is on the honor system . You will deposit the money at the entrance of the trail. Make sure you pay or have a pass otherwise it will be a minimum $50 fine. Annual pass available for $15; One-day or season permits are also valid at Whiteside Mountain and at Dry Falls.
Where to find the best views: For an excellent view of Whitewater Falls, follow the paved walkway to the upper overlook. The walkway begins at the end of the parking lot and is accessible to wheelchairs. A lower overlook is located at the bottom of 154 wooden steps. More energetic hikers can continue down the half-mile spur trail that drops 600 feet in elevation to the Whitewater River and Foothills Trail. With the exception of the two overlooks near the top, no other views of the falls are offered.The best views of the falls are from the two overlooks. However, some people venture off the trail to try for better views. Tragically, several of these people fell to their deaths or suffered serious injuries at Whitewater Falls. Please stay on the trails.
The Foothills Trail stretches along the Blue Ridge Escarpment in North Carolina and South Carolina for 85 miles. After descending the spur trail, hikers may head east on the Foothills Trail to South Carolina, the Lower Whitewater Falls, and other eastward points. The majority of trail maintenance is provided by volunteers with the Foothills Trail Conference, whose board includes representatives of managing agencies and landowners. The Highlands Ranger district of the Nantahala National Forest manages a 4.5-mile segment of the Foothills Trail from the NC-SC State line east of Whitewater Falls to the NC-SC State line, west of the falls.
