Carrick Creek Falls — Attraction in South Carolina

My wife and I traveled to the Pickens County area of South Carolina to do some hiking. One trail we wanted to hike was the Carrick Creek Falls in the Table Rock Mountain State Park.

Note: you have to sign in at the Nature Center in order to do this hike. And it does cost to get into the state park. It's $6 a person unless you are a senior citizen.

The trail starts on a paved pathway. This pathway splits into trails a short distance from the Nature Center. The green marked trail is the Carrick Creek trail. Since it's a loop trail you can go either right or left. I suggest going left going live gets the harder part of the trail walk over first. It's a lot more scenic too.

We went on a cold December day and needed a jacket at most but I imagine it must be quite humid/hot in the summer months. The views of the tall trees and running water are splendid and very soothing. Must try if you are...

We did the carrick creek trail in table rock state park. It costs 6 dollars per person to enter the park. We got the park map at the entrance. We parked near nature center and the walked around lake area. we then registered for the trail at the nature center. It was moderate intensity in some places. Took us around 1.5 hours. Enjoyed the trail. There were other tiny water falls and streams along the way that made it even more enjoyable. If you just want to see waterfall, you can just turn around and get back but the trail is nice if you...
