Raven Rock Falls 2005
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 approch 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.
