After you have hiked the Toxaway River Trail to the lower waterfall, Fisher Falls, you may
want to continue on to Raven Rock Falls. This is a great hike and an adventure. There
are many more river crossings and many boulders to scramble over. There are many
slippery rocks. It's treacherous at times. Only take this hike of you are sure-footed and
steady. Be careful. This hike is an adventure.
At the first signpost above Fisher Falls, turn left. Turn left at another sign, then descend
to the river. Cross over the river. This is one of the most dangerous part of the hike. The
rocks are slippery and you are at the top of a waterfall. Be very careful.
Follow Toxaway River upstream for about a mile. It's an adventuresome trip. Follow the
yellow blazes and blue arrows.
As you approach the waterfall from below, look for a trail on the right.
Rest and enjoy yourself at the base of the falls.
To return, follow the path behind the half-buried tire. Follow this over a bridge and under
a waterfall, then through the woods. Eventually you'll return to the junction above Fisher
Falls. Follow the sign for the return trail through the woods. You'll end up on Cardinal
Drive above where you parked.
