About this spot

Also called Fountain Falls, Longnose Creek Falls is an old grist-mill site on Longnose Creek near Westminster, SC, where the creek meets Lake Hartwell. The land around and above the falls, including a house overlooking it, is private property, so the falls are conventionally reached by canoe or small boat paddling up the creek arm from the lake rather than by trail — water levels have to cooperate to get close. Multiple paddling trip reports and a video describe the creek mouth as a pleasant summer swimming and cooling-off spot, though cliff-jumping specifically isn't documented. Satellite imagery shows a residential structure right at the mapped pin, consistent with the private-property description. Do not approach on foot through private land; stick to the water approach and respect posted boundaries.

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.
