About this spot
Rooster Tail Falls is a real ~50-foot waterfall deep in the Toxaway River gorge (Toxaway Game Land), confirmed by a detailed hiker trip report at these exact coordinates. The only documented route is a 3.8-mile round trip that traverses above 'Terrifying Falls,' described as a spot where a false step would likely be fatal. This is a single-source, extreme-access location with no swimming or jumping culture on record.
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.
