Continuing our journey through the Jocassee Gorges, we’ll hike the Middle Saluda Passage of the Palmetto Trail and visit Rainbow Falls, one of the many breathtaking waterfalls nestled within this rugged landscape.

The Jocassee Gorges region is known for its dramatic terrain, shaped by numerous first-order streams that have carved steep ravines and narrow valleys over time. This dynamic topography adds both beauty and challenge to every step, offering an unforgettable experience in one of South Carolina’s most scenic natural areas.

Electrofishing Demo

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will present an electrofishing demonstration immediately following hike.
