Looking For Easy-Going Adventure and Spectacular Sights?
Long Creek, SC might be just what you’re after!
You’ll find undeveloped rolling countryside, zero traffic and plenty of places to explore! Long Creek is a tiny place that doesn’t have the usual trappings we’ve all come to expect. The country roads will lead you to waterfalls, river access points, apple orchards, and sweet spots to enjoy the natural outdoors.
Come for the day, or better yet, plan to spend all weekend in Long Creek!

River ExperienceÂ
The Chattooga River is famous for whitewater rafting, kayaking, and fishing. But trails to various sights along the river means there is great hiking too!
One of our favorite destinations is Long Creek Falls. It’s a strenuous 40-minute hike each way, but the trail takes you to an amazing waterfall next to the Chattooga River. Much of the terrain is evergreen, and it’s a glorious setting for sure!
An easier option is walking 1/4 mile to view the river from the Chattooga River Access point (parking lot off Highway 76). Go right on the trail to view huge boulders at the Bull Sluice rapid, or take the left trail to enjoy a nice sandy beach area.
Stay
Cozy Up
Wildwater’s adorable Goldfinch treehouse is the perfect spot for love birds! This one-bedroom, one-bath space sleeps two and includes a kitchenette and deck overlooking the forest.
If there are more than two of you, Wildwater has a variety of rental accommodations in Long Creek, including: larger cabins, a luxury rental house, and yurts.
If you’re coming to Long Creek with a bigger group, check out Moresun Bunkhouse, which can sleep 12.
