Big Bear Falls – NC

Big Bear Falls is located within the South Mountains State Park and provides an opportunity to get up close to the falls and dip your feet in the nearby water. We consider the hike to Big Bear Falls to be fairly easy and worth the slight detour off of the High Shoals Falls Loop Trail.
