About this spot

Indian Camp Falls (listed elsewhere as Indian Camp Branch Falls) sits in Gorges State Park near Lake Toxaway, NC, along Indian Camp Trail close to Bearwallow Creek and the Toxaway River. It's a roughly 2-mile round-trip hike from the trailhead, ending near a backcountry campsite. Documentation is limited to hiking-database listings (HikingWNC, Trailforks), with no swimming or jumping culture reported. Hazards: an unmarked or lightly marked trail in spots, stream crossings, and typical gorge terrain with steep drop-offs. Free state park access; check Gorges State Park conditions and any trail closures before visiting.

Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
