Twin Falls, Upstate of South Carolina



 

                                                           Twin Falls


A beautiful patch here in the Upstate of South Carolina. A short half mile hike to the covered viewing platform. Trail is easy to walk on and encourages a leisurely  stroll through the clean woods. Side paths veered toward the Reedy Cove creek; clear rushing water scurrying from one rock to another added a musical background to the crisp morning. 

Starting from the parking area the trail is level with pleasant tree coverage on either side of the trail. The second section has a slight elevation gain and a drop off on the right side of the trail. Pathway is wide enough so that should not be a problem. I, an older man with trekking poles, had no fear of stepping off the path and unexpectedly swimming in the fast moving water. A wooden ramp leads up to the viewing platform, benches are built on the back inside rails and a wooden railing faces and keeps you from stepping towards the falls.

Relax, enjoy the view, take lots of pictures!

HIKE



Hike

I took a short hike today
Not sure just what to say

Some leaves were kicked
Three logs were crossed

The cloudy sky cooled my way
Decaying grass lay like hay

I wandered along a tree lined path
The limbs were bare, unburdened at last

I followed a creek till it joined a pond
And there I stood, could not go on

I took a short hike today
Still not sure just what to say

Rainy Day Walk






 


  The Joy of Solitude

dripping leaves and shallow puddles

Refresh the spirit

dimples of rain drops and ripples of lake water

Soothe the soul

flowing water and swirling eddies 

Calm the mind
