Last Falls on Slickum is a waterfall in South Carolina. Height has not been officially recorded. Access details and conditions have not yet been verified in person by Fallspots — the data on this page comes from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.
Last Falls on Slickum is in South Carolina. The falls are inside Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area. The base sits at roughly 1,063 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 4 minutes from Caesars Head. OpenStreetMap shows a trail within 10 meters of the marked location, though the name isn't recorded. No public parking is recorded within 2 km, so a longer approach is likely. It draws modest visitor attention — busier weekends, quiet weekdays. Source records come from OpenStreetMap.
Entry is free. Dogs on leash are welcome on the access trail.
Is the water flowing right now?
Most waterfall sites don't tell you this. The waterfall itself is almost never gauged, but a USGS streamgage in the same watershed can tell you whether snowmelt has started, peaked, or run dry.
