About this spot

Small waterfall on Bearwallow Creek near Lake Toxaway, part of a cluster of named falls (Indian Camp Falls, Chute Falls) typical of the bushwhack-heavy Toxaway/Gorges region. No cliff-jumping or swimming reports were found; treat as a scenic, off-trail waterfall rather than a swim spot. Likely reached by bushwhacking on National Forest or private timber land—verify land status 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.
