Several trails give access to the South Carolina portion. From Sloan Bridge Picnic Area, 6.3 miles of the Ellicott Rock Trail will take you down to Ellicott Rock itself. At the river this trail joins the Chattooga River Trail which follows the South Carolina side of the river for 4.4 miles to Burrell's Ford Campgroud. Ellicott Rock stands relatively near millions of Americans and use of this area is high, but along the river you'll probably find less humans. Extreme western South Carolina.
Maps showing the hiking trails are available free from the district ranger.
