SC Trails: Miuka Falls

Miuka Falls, also called Cheohee Falls, is a 75-foot waterfall on the West Fork of Townes Creek beside the Winding Stairs Trail in Sumter National Forest. Start at the trailhead to the right of the two yellow posts at the SC 107 pull-off. At 0.2 mile a path from Cherry Hill Recreation Area joins; continue south 0.9 mile and bear left on a short spur to a rock with a view of the falls. Thick foliage limits the view in summer. Reaching the base needs a very steep scramble. Return the same way.
