On one of me and my wife’s adventure hunts. We wanted to go water-falling in the upstate and twin falls or Eastatoe falls were mentioned. we got directions and the falls weren’t to hard to find. These falls have more names than an escaped convict, once you see Twin Falls, that’s the name that will stick! The left and larger of the falls pitches from a height of 75 – 100 feet over a massive slab of stone, while the right side manages a short drop onto another chunk of stone and then slides down a 45-degree slope before rejoining the other falls. All in all, a fine show and only an easy 15-minute walk from the parking area. It is only a bout a ¼ of a mile and real easy walk. the view is amazing. If you are your way up this way go to this website for more information. Have fun!

This place is absolutely breathtaking. It’s a super easy walk to get to, I wouldn’t even go as far as to call it a hike. The waterfalls are picturesque and huge. The walk itself has numerous little spots for photos until the twin fall grand finale. I had a hard time finding it the first time because there isn’t cell service there and my gps stopped working. When you see a little place called Bob’s, you turn left and then you will be almost there. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area, without question. Simply stunning.

If you’re out hunting waterfalls in the Carolina’s, put this one on your list. Two side by side waterfalls: One is a straight shelf drop and the other, a cascading beauty. Twin Falls or Reedy Cove Falls or Eastatoe Falls(depending on who you ask) is easily accessible from the trailhead making it a perfect hike for families with young children. Along the way you will find plenty of photo opportunities as the Reedy Cove river travels side by side with the trail and creates several cascades. You will also happen upon an old hand made water wheel while exploring the trail. I can think of no logical reason for it’s location, but it’s a fun find nonetheless. There is a hand carved sign that reads«In Loving Memory of Buck Hinkle», but as hard as I’ve tried, I can’t seem to locate any information about Mr. Buck. A very cool tree that started in the crack of a boulder and whose roots grew around the boulder is also an interesting sight.
The trail will lead you to a wooden overlook or, if you have a more adventurous spirit, you can climb over the rail and find a safe path to the base of the falls. Let me just tell you that this sucker is the slippery slope yo’ mamma warned you about. I’m so happy none of you were there to witness my impromptu electric slide down a section of these slick stones as I did my best not to fall. I managed to stay on my feet but landed in a soft grassy area ankle deep in mud. My oldest son wasn’t so lucky. A trip down a slick(yet rough) stone surface does a number on the backside! It was epic! We laughed about both our slides all the way back to the car.
If you come in the fall, the road you travel is next to the base of the mountain range. The fall colors are off the chart beautiful during the peak of the season. Our adventure started here and took us to Sassafras Mountain(the highest peak in South Carolina), Pearson’s Falls, Campbell’s covered bridge and Poinsett bridge.
