About this spot
Snider Falls is a small, roughly 15-foot cascade on an unmapped tributary near Snider Cemetery outside Mountain Rest, SC, in the Chattooga River backcountry. Park near a gated pull-off about 1.3 miles down Low Water Bridge Road; the hike in is under half a mile, following a cut path upstream from the gate. Flow is modest and can thin to a trickle by summer, so this reads as a hiking/photography waterfall rather than a swimming hole -- no pool of real size is documented. No cliff-jumping or swimming culture appears in available trip reports; wet rock and a bushwhacky summer approach are the hazards worth knowing about.
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.
