Saluda Side Trips 📍🚙
Ho**er Falls Trail | 35-40 mins from Saluda
About 35 minutes from downtown Saluda, Ho**er Falls is an easy addition to your mountain getaway. Located in DuPont State Recreational Forest, a short, family-friendly hike follows the Little River to the beautiful 12-foot waterfall. This is the perfect trail for families, pups, or anyone looking for plenty of scenery without a strenuous hike.
Visiting on a warm day? Pack your swimsuit! Ho**er Falls is one of the few designated areas in DuPont where swimming is permitted. The calmer, shallow areas downstream from the falls offer a refreshing place to cool off, splash around, or relax beside the river.
Bring a picnic and make an afternoon of it, or connect with nearby trails and waterfalls for a longer day exploring DuPont. Then, head back to Saluda for dinner, shopping, live music, and a relaxing evening in our little mountain town.
