From Walhalla, drive west on SC 28 for 6.9 miles and turn right into the park. Pass through the gate and follow the road to the parking lot and picnic area on the right. Walk across the footbridge on the west side of the parking lot and follow the path that curves to the right side of the falls to the viewing platform. A visitor guide from Discover South Carolina says a wide dirt and gravel path also leads down toward the base of the falls. The unfinished Stumphouse Tunnel is nearby in the same park.
