Horseback Waterfall Tours - Rhett Leonard is the owner of Horseback Waterfall Tours, as well as Rockin’ Reverend Ranch in Pickens County, about 24 miles northwest of Greenville. Leonard skillfully matches horse to rider, and then you will embark on an unforgettable horseback adventure through Transylvania County, Western North Carolina’s “Land of the Waterfalls”. Much of the trail ride takes you through DuPont State Forest, with views of Triple Falls, High Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls -- all connected by the Little River. Another horseback tour that Leonard offers a little closer to home in South Carolina involves a six hour trip to Jumping Off Rock, where you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of Lake Jocassee.
