Big Creek Falls is a small, but very pretty waterfall located in the Pisgah National Forest.If you are in the area, it’s worth stopping by to see. There is not much traffic in the area and what little we saw, drove right past it. We probably would have too if we hadn’t known where to look. The top of Big Creek Falls is barely visible from the roadway.
Follow the directions below to find the pull off. When you reach the pull off at the end of the pull off you will see a “path” descending. This will take you to an “overlook” of the waterfall. From there it is a steep scramble down to the base of the waterfall. It’s only a short scramble though, only about 0.01 feet. I wouldn’t recommend it if the ground is muddy, but it is otherwise not too difficult to navigate with tennis shoes or boots.
The waterfall is nestled in between several large, moss-covered boulders. The water cascades down into a small round pool that feeds off the creek. This waterfall like many is most impressive after a good rainstorm or during winter or spring.
