Jones Gap State Park, SC

Jones Gap State Park

    Just a little information about the park - it is located just across the North Carolina State Park in Marietta, South Carolina.  The park just reopened March 1, 2025 after hurricane Helene destruction.  As of March 13, there are only 2 trails open in the park, but they are working towards the rest.  The trails are clear, but there is still a lot of debris from the storm along the trail. There is an entry fee of $6 per adult and $3.50 for kids.  Reservations are required for the weekend.  

Rainbow Falls

    This hike is rated as very strenuous and is close to 4.5 miles from the parking lot.  The hike to where the trail splits is pretty easy, but very rocky.  Then after you're on the Rainbow Falls trail for a bit, you start the climb up the mountain.  The falls are beautiful, but will be even prettier when the trees are green!
