About This Trail

Imported description
The hike to Yellow Branch Falls is a backtrack hike over moderate terrain that ends at a waterfall with many individual cascades. The hike begins at the picnic area off of SC 28 and goes on to the Yellow Branch Falls Trail. You can pass through groves of hardwood and travel across streams. The Town of Walhalla can be seen in the winter when the trees are bare. The National Forest Service recommends that you wear sturdy shoes and use extra caution on this hike, as the trail skirts the edges of deep ravines.
