D.E.W.  Falls

This nice little waterfall is very easy to get to. I got the info from Kevin Adams newest waterfall book. From the Brewer Road parking, drive another 1 1/4 mile south on 281 and turn into a gravel drive on the right. If you get to the parking for John's Jump on the left, then Whitewater Church Rd on the right you've gone too far. You can park here to walk down to John's Jump or visa versa. The gravel drive just leads into a small open camping spot with a picnic table. From here, hike past the gate on the road and look for the side trail on the left just a short distance up. It's a not very far to the waterfall.

Kevin says the waterfall is named for Dorothy Ehrlich Walker who died in an automobile accident during her senior year at Hammond School in South Carolina. You can follow Mill Creek up from this waterfall and get to Slippery Witch Falls. Cross the creek above the falls and try to follow the fisherman's trail.
