Another cache along a great trail. The Jones Gap Falls is just one of many waterfalls in Jones Gap State Park for you to enjoy. Geocaching for us is about getting out and exploring the beauty of the great outdoors. We hope you enjoy this park. These caches were placed with permission from the South Carolina Parks and Recreation Department. Special thanks to Tim Lee for walking the trails with us, in the rain, to insure that no endangered plants were disturbed.
There is an admission fee of Five dollars per person at this park. Parking is limited. There are a couple of more caches available at this park.
Significant Features : The Middle Saluda River, South Carolina's first state-designated scenic river, runs through the park.
A portion of the park also contains the Eastern Continental Divide. Rain falling on one side of this divide runs into streams that ultimately end in the Atlantic Ocean. Rain falling on the other side runs into streams that ultimately end and run into the Gulf of Mexico.
The Cleveland Fish Hatchery, South Carolina's first state-owned and operated fish hatchery, is located at Jones Gap State Park. The hatchery only serves an exhibit role today, but is home to brook trout, rainbow and brown trout. The trout pond holds 60-80 fish and displays around the pond gives information on each type of fish.
- Waterfalls : Waterfalls that can be viewed from Jones Gap include: Falls Creek Falls, Jones Gap Falls, Rainbow Falls, Dargans Cascades and Silver Steps Falls.
