Raven Cliff Falls - Greenville South Carolina Hikes

A day hike to one of the highest and most scenic cascades in the eastern United States. Raven Cliff Falls was an extraordinarily popular hiking destination even before a swinging footbridge was recently built across it. You are now faced with two intriguing options: You can go to the overlook for a spectacular, if slightly distant, view of the gorgeous falls; or you can walk to the suspension bridge and stand right above the falls. There is no wrong choice.
