Directions:
From Saluda, take exit 59 on I-26. Go north on Holbert Cove Road and almost immediately, turn left on Green River Cove Road. The road is paved but extremely steep and curvy as it heads down to the river. Those susceptible to car sickness will not enjoy the drive. Go 3.8 miles on this road and turn right on a gravel road just before the bridge over Green River. Drive a short ways to a gate and park without blocking the gate.

Hike Description:
Hike down the old road past the gate. In about a mile you'll pass an old barn as you approach Cove Creek. The road curves to the left and fords Cove Creek. After the ford, the road heads up through some fields. About half-way through, the road kind of peters out. Curve to the right and head towards the southeast corner of the field and into the woods towards Little Cove Creek. Follow the creek upstream less than 0.5 miles to the waterfall. There's no trail but it's easy to follow with flagging tape in places. Stay on river left side until near the end and then cross is probably the easiest way to go.
