Where the Waterfalls Are

Bennettsville sits in or near the Piedmont and the Fall Line area of South Carolina. Away from the mountains, South Carolina's falls are mostly river shoals and small drops along the Piedmont and fall line. The Great Falls of the Catawba in Chester County was once a significant series of rapids on the Catawba River, now heavily altered by hydroelectric development. Laurens County has a Great Falls of its own, and Union, Kershaw and Chesterfield counties each have one listed fall. Darlington and Marion counties, on the coastal plain, each have one listed fall, an unusual feature in such low country. These sites are modest but reflect the state's geologic transition from mountains to coast. Read the South Carolina waterfall guide.
