About this spot

Hen Tail Falls sits immediately adjacent to Rooster Tail Falls on an island in the Toxaway River gorge, per the same hiker trip report that maps these coordinates. Reaching it requires the same extreme, multi-hour river-and-cliff traverse past 'Terrifying Falls,' where a misstep carries fatal consequences. Real and plausible, but single-source and with no documented swimming or jumping.

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.
