Reedy Branch Falls - SC (2)

10/26/2013 - found this falls in the book "Hiking Waterfalls in Georgia and South Carolina" by Melissa Watson.  It's easy to find and an easy, downhill hike.  The smaller falls is at a trail junction, where the left trail goes to the bigger falls in a natural amphitheater and the right trail crosses the creek at a ruined bridge (you can cross on the narrow rock edge of the old bridge)

Some other hikers I met said the property used to be privately owned and there is a lake up the old road after you cross the creek to the right.

From the old bridge, the hike to the main falls is short, flat and easy.  This falls turned out to be much bigger than I had envisioned it from the picture in the book.
