Access status

Ground & access
State park loop trail; the rocks around the falls are slippery.

This listing's position matches the point Waterfall Hero gives for Upper Poe Creek Falls, a 6-foot waterfall on Poe Creek in Keowee-Toxaway State Park. Waterfall Hero uses the name Poe Creek Falls for a different 15-foot drop a short way downstream, also called Middle Poe Creek Falls, so the name on this listing may refer to either. The Upcountry South Carolina listing treats Poe Creek Falls as one falls in three parts. To reach the falls at this position, start on the Natural Bridge Trail from the far end of the visitor center parking lot, take the left fork at the split, cross the natural bridge, and shortly after take a path on the left to a rocky area in front of the falls. The loop continues past the other Poe Creek drops back to the lot.
