Please note that ROCK CLIMBING IS PROHIBITED on all South Carolina Heritage Preserves, which includes Stevens Creek. Steven's Creek is a SC Dept of Natural Resources owned land, and climbing is prohibited per Regulation 123-203. This particular preserve was purchased to protect a federally endangered plant species which grows on the rock face, (and also above it and below it): Ribes echinellum. Anyone caught climbing on the rock will face charges. The rare plant mentioned above occurs only in two small areas in the entire world.
