About this spot

A real ~30-ft waterfall (formerly called Clemson Falls) in the Clemson Experimental Forest near Central, SC, reached by a short, easy ~0.3-1.6 mile trail with steep wooden stairs that guides describe as needing maintenance. One source mentions a swimming hole at the base, but this isn't corroborated across the multiple trail guides found, which focus on hiking rather than swimming. No jump culture documented. No official parking lot; posted warnings say not to park at the Waldrop Stone/Madden Bridge Road intersection.

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.
