Arboretum Falls is a 10-foot falls on a small tributary of the Reedy River inside Falls Park on the Reedy in downtown Greenville, near the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities. It is in the old arboretum that the Greenville Garden Club developed on land then owned by Furman University. From the park parking, cross the bridge and turn left to follow the closed road down toward the river; the falls are on the left, and a couple of paths lead down to the base. One visitor reached it from the West End parking area by descending stone steps. Reedy Falls, the park's main falls, is a short distance away.
