This hike follows West Fork Creek.  Features along the trail include many flowering plants, rock overhangs, a large cliff, a waterfall and nice winter views through the woods.

Trail Summary (note - trail distances are approximate and are from the entrance gate): To get to the trail head, travel from Walhalla SC 8 miles north on SC 28 and bear right onto SC 107.  Cherry Hill Campground is another 8.5 miles further from this intersection on the right.  You can park in the gravel area left of the gate.  Walk down the campground road to the bottom of the hill and at the camper sewage disposal area, bear to the right.  The trail is a little obscure here but if you pick your way through the undergrowth you should intersect it within a hundred feet or so.  Stay along the right bank of the creek walking downstream and you should find the old road bed.

The trail descends along the old road bed roughly parallel to the creek.  In approximately 0.7 miles from the gate, the trail bears to the right away from the creek.  In another 0.3 miles the trail bears sharply to the left.  A short distance to the right is a large rock face cliff worth visiting.  In another 0.25 miles the trail turns sharply to the right.  Off to the left is a partial view of a nearby waterfall.

The trail continues to descend from here (gray on map below) and ends at the Winding Staircase Road (gravel - also known as the Cheohee Road).  We have not hiked the remainder of the trail and we are not able to provide further information below the waterfall but have traced the trail on the USGS topo sheet below.  The actual location of the trail may differ from that shown.
