Photo Suggestions

About a mile on Horsepasture road, you will come to a small waterfall (Horsepasture Road Falls) on the right.  It is worth stopping to photograph it.

Driving Tips and Other Information

Do not count on your GPS to find Jumping Off Rock via its physical address.
 
This road can be rough at times, but a regular size vehicle normally has no problem..  If the road is wet, you may need a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
 
From the intersection of SC Hwy 11 and US 178, go North on US 178 towards Rosman, NC for approx. 9 miles to Horsepasture Road (dirt and gravel road) on your left.

  - You will go through the Rocky Bottom Community - past the sign to Sassafras Mountain (on your right)
  - You will cross over a small bridge and immediately turn left onto the gravel road.
  - Drive past the parking area for the Foothills Trail
  - Drive approximate another 9.8 miles
  - Look for a small green sign nailed to a tree (on right) saying "Jumping Off Rock"
  - There is also a big rock with a tribute to James Timmerman
  - Follow the path to the overlook (couple of 100 yards).
