Licklog & Pigpen

Description: From the parking area you will hike the Foothills Trail for .5 mile and turn left onto the Chattooga Trail where you will get two waterfalls for the price of one. You will find the 25-foot stack of Pigpen Falls and the two-tiered, 80-foot Licklog Falls are much prettier than their names imply. Interestingly, these two falls are among five waterfalls you could visit by hiking the entire Chattooga Trail, which should emphasize the steep and wild nature of this terrain. Even so, this is an idea area for a family outing. .  Total hike for our trip today was 5.6.

 

Height: Pigpen is 25 feet. Licklog’s first level is 30 feet and second level is 50 feet .

Difficulty: Easy

Creek or river: Licklog Creek

USGS Quadrangle: Satolah and Tamassee

Directions to falls:

From Walhalla go North West on SC 28 for 8 miles, 6.5 N. on SC 107 to Cheohee Road (on right). Park there and join the Foothills Trail where it crosses 107.

NOTE: For a shorter hike of approx. 1 mile to just see the falls, visit sctrails.net for directions.

Pigpen Falls (also a great picnic area)

Along the Chattooga River - also another great place for a picnic or camping

Wet leaves make for a slippery board walk
