Big
Rock Falls |
Deep in the escarpment of the Mountain Pine Ridge, Big Rock
Falls is another of the area's waterfall treasures. After
receiving good directions or the help of a guide, visitors
embark on their expedition, either by horseback, mountain
bike or vehicle to the hidden waterfall. Traveling in the
same direction to Five Sisters Falls, keep a lookout for
a feeder road off to the left that leads to a small clearing,
followed by a trail downhill. The journey becomes
a bit steeper as the trail descends down the escarpment.

Swimming
in the pool |
About ten to fifteen minutes later, the Privassion River
comes into view and the sound of Big Rock Falls echoes through
the valley.
An easy climb over the granite boulders along the banks
of the Privassion brings you to the base of the waterfall.
The tremendous view of water rushing over the huge 150-ft
rock formations and plummeting into the deep perfectly round
pool at its base provides a rush of excitement.
A visit to this magnificent spot is one of the highlights
of any trip to the mountain Pine Ridge area.
