Secret Falls - Highland, North Carolina

Secret Falls - Nantahala National Forest : The trail is now called the Big Shoals Trail and is blazed with blue metal rectangles nailed to the trees. The trail has also been improved and is all on Nantahala National Forest property.  The viewing area has been improved too

I'm not sure when all of this was done, but the forest service did a great job - many kudos to them! The trail is easy to follow and easy to moderate in difficulty with just a couple of shorter steep sections. Depending on your hiking speed, you should reach the falls in 20-30 minutes. People swim here, so you can probably expect company on a nice summer day
