  • Eastatoe Creek lies in the heart of South Carolina's temperate Rain Forest. The Southern Blue Ridge Escarpment of South and North Carolina is second only the Pacific-Northwest in the amount of rainfall that it receives and has been reported to harbor the only U.S. location of the tunbridge fern and filmy ferns from South America. This pristine creek, which harbors native brook trout, eventually becomes compressed into a small, but deep crack in the creek bed, known as The Narrows, creating huge plumes of mist that fill Eastatoe Gorge, in-turn allowing this incredible array of ferns and other plant and animal life to exist. ..Eastatoe was the Cherokee word for the extinct Carolina Parakeet.
