This has a beautiful waterfall at the end where you can even take a dip, but it can be more on the moderate to challenging side depending on skill level. Especially with wet weather, the hike can be very muddy. There are other side trails as well for other views and waterfalls on the way.

This is the most remote waterfall near Highlands but also comes with one of the greatest rewards: small crowds, a gorgeous waterfall, and a swimming hole! A short hike leads out to a 50’ cascading waterfall and a shallow swimming area. Do you think they’ll still call it Secret Falls after everyone reads about this? The 1.3-mile out and back trail is a moderate hike with less than a 250’ elevation change. The trail is primitive and mostly maintained although it can get muddy at times.

Big Shoals Falls is a powerful sixty-foot waterfall in the Pisgah National Forest south of Highlands, NC. The deep plunge pool makes a great swimming hole. This is typically a secret, locals spot! I take an inner tube, inflator, sunscreen, towel and water/beer in my backpack to float in the lagoon area. Directions: From the main stop light in downtown Highlands (along US Highway 64), take Main Street, which turns into Horse Cove Road (toward the Nature Center). If you are driving east on US 64 (from Franklin), go straight at the light to stay on Main Street. If you are driving west on US 64 (from Cashiers), turn left onto Main Street. From the stoplight, drive down the ridge on a very curvy paved road for 3.7 miles. Turn right onto Walking Stick Rd (SR1608), an unpaved one-lane road with two-way traffic! Watch for the occasional oncoming car, but this is not a busy road at all. Drive 2.5 miles to a fork in the road and veer right, crossing a bridge. Go another quarter of a mile and turn right on FR4567 (sign is hidden in trees). Drive another quarter of a mile to a small, dirt parking area on the left. Look for the stake that says "Secret Falls." Sometimes (especially winter), this last road is gated. But, you can park and walk the extra quarter-mile.
