South River Falls is a cascade waterfall in Virginia with a documented drop of 83 ft (25 m).
Its water comes from South River. You'll find it in Greene, Virginia. It is protected within National Park Service (Shenandoah National Park).
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 2.6 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Stanardsville, the closest town.
When to go: spring. Like most waterfalls, South River Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
