Wildcat Falls, officially known as Greenville Wayside Park, ia divided into three tiers. All three are fed by Wildcat Branch Creek. The lower section called Wildcat Wayside Falls can been seen right off the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway in Greenville County. The fall drops 30-feet before spilling into a shallow granite pool.
ACCESSIBILITY: No hiking required. Roadside parking is available for all types of vehicles. Wheelchairs can pull right up to the waterfall pool. The fall can be seen from the side of the road; in fact, you don't even need to get out of the car.
If able, a few natural steps on the left side of lower falls leads to Middle Falls. Middle Falls cascades 10-feet. A shelter built in 1930 is located on the side of Middle Falls. The shelter was built by the Civilian Conservation Corp as a resting stop for traveling motorists.
TYPE: Tiered: Water drops in a series of distinct steps or falls.
Cascade: Water descends a series of rock steps.
DIRECTIONS: Drive 5 miles west from Greenville, SC on US 276. The waterfall is located on the right side of the road. The Wildcat sign is located on the right side of the road too.
