Mill Creek Falls is a waterfall accessed via a short 0.4-mile spur trail that branches off the Pinnacle Mountain Trail in Table Rock State Park. The falls are viewed from a wooden bridge, offering a scenic vantage point without requiring a long hike.
The Pinnacle Mountain Trail itself is moderate in difficulty, and the spur to Mill Creek Falls makes for an easy add-on. Dogs are allowed on the trail. Table Rock State Park currently has the Nature Center and main trailhead restrooms closed for construction work on the falls-area deck; however, the official park website provides an alternate temporary access route via the Concessions Area, so the waterfall remains accessible.
Admission to Table Rock State Park is $6 for adults, $3.75 for South Carolina seniors, $3.50 for children ages 6–15, and free for children under 5. Given the short spur distance, you can easily combine this waterfall with a Pinnacle Mountain hike or other nearby trails within the park. Before you visit, confirm current access information on the park’s website, as construction activity continues.
Spring through fall; check for current construction-detour information at the park.
