Hemlock Nature Trail/Big Bear Falls
Looking for a local family-friendly hike? High Shoals Falls is still closed as of 9/15/25, but South Mountain still has so much to offer! Starting at the Jacob Fork parking area we started with the Hemlock Nature trail that winds along the creek. There is so much to explore and enjoy along this .3 mile easy trail. We then hiked an additional .2 miles to a small waterfall area where the kids played and explored with friends.
