The walk: About 0.3 mile one way (SC Trails and HD Carolina figure)

Todd Creek Falls is a 20-foot block falls with a large, shallow pool, on a power line right-of-way. SC Trails says the land is owned by Clemson University and Duke Energy; HD Carolina places it in the Clemson Experimental Forest. From the bridge on Brookbend Road, follow the unmarked path downstream along the creek. About halfway, where the creek bends right, some rock-hopping may be needed. Continue just past the falls and take a short, steep side path down to the base. An old spring and a mill dam lie about 0.2 mile farther downstream.
