The northern end of Gorges State Park borders US64 as you are heading west through Lake Toxaway. The road passes over the top of Toxaway Falls on the Toxaway River, and there's a nice wide shoulder on the dam side to pull over, park, and take a look. Lake Toxaway is on the upper side of the road. On the opposite side of the road, Toxaway Falls spills and slides over some very colorful bedrock in a 240' change in elevation before the river disappears into the forest. The river then flows for over 6 miles through the park before emptying into Lake Jocassee. Along the way is some of the most awesome scenery and rugged terrain that you will see anywhere! There are numerous waterfalls and many more smaller cascades, but none are easy to get to.
