Yellow Branch Falls is a hidden gem nestled in the Sumter National Forest near Walhalla, South Carolina.

This beautiful waterfall flows over a series of rock ledges, creating a striking 60-foot, multi-tiered cascade. The Yellow Branch Falls Trail is a moderately difficult 3-mile round trip hike that takes visitors through a quiet hardwood forest filled with wildflowers, mossy stones, and diverse wildlife.

At the trail’s end, hikers are rewarded with the peaceful sights and sounds of the falls. Popular with hikers, photographers, and nature enthusiasts, Yellow Branch Falls offers a tranquil retreat in the scenic foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
