Little Bradley Falls — Attraction in North Carolina

Loved this waterfall location. It is as advised, a tiny bit tricky to get to but it's totally worth it. It does have high ridges you'll be walking along to get there, but it's very manageable. About a mile and a half hike, rocks to climb easily and river crossing too are part of the easy hike there. The waterfall wading pool area is only about 5' deep at some spots. If your agile, you can climb up at least two tiers of boulders by waterfall. The water is obviously very cool so its especially enjoyable during hit days. We noticed on the return hike there was another hiking path that's a bit higher up there. We will stick to the lower easy path we originally took. You do hike along the river for quite a bit with plenty of spots to play and chill in river. Parking is very limited though, and trail head is not clearly marked. It's on other side of the street...

Absolute gorgeous trail that was a decent challenge. Hikers and interested parties beware: the path to Little Bradley is not marked very well, once you leave the road, look to your left and climb up the incline instead of following the river, unless you like rock hopping. My wife and I took the river way on our way in and took the actual trail out. There are several downed trees you will have to climb or crawl under, and the trail is very narrow with very steep drops in some parts so be extremely conscious and careful of where you step. You will have to cross a small creek about 1/4 of the way in and then a small stream you can either rock hop across or wade through (it would come to about your knees or middle of your thighs if you are a six foot guy like me). The falls themselves were very...

This was worth the trip, easy trail. I don’t see how you can get lost. Be prepared to get wet, there’s no way around it. You do have to cross the stream to get across and continue the trail. Immediately after parking, once you walk towards the “route” you have two options… follow the creek up or immediately to the left there’s a dirt step up that will lead you to the pink markers wrapped around trees HOWEVER in the middle of THAT trail there is a challenging broken portion of the trail. Kind of sketchy but doable if you watch your step. I preferred the obvious route and followed the creek up. More scenic, rugged and fun! Got wet but honestly… that’s what a great hike consist of. Haven’t done that since Yosemite, CA. P.S. please take your trash with you, had to pick up quiet a bit on...
