Great Falls

Great Falls lies beside the Catawba River in northern South Carolina, where the river’s falls and hydropower helped shape the community’s development. It forms part of the Catawba-Wateree river corridor, a chain of dams and reservoirs extending south through the Piedmont. Great Falls grew as a planned mill community in the early 20th century, and the Great Falls Hydroelectric Station, completed in 1907, recalls the period when the river powered local industry. Today, its small-town setting remains closely tied to the Catawba. Discover how Great Falls fits into the wider Catawba-Wateree corridor and South Carolina Piedmont by browsing webcams nearby.
