Last Falls on Slickum is a short, multi-tiered cascade under 10 feet high that flows into a sandy pool on Slickum Creek, just above the highway. There are no signs or parking areas. Find Slickum Creek where it passes under US 276/SC 11 just before it enters the Saluda River, then take the unmarked path that starts on the left (west) side of the culvert into the forest. The falls are very close to the road. The path is informal, and the land manager is not named in the sources.
