The small but powerful Big Rock Falls on Privassion Creek are, for many, more impressive than the Thousand Foot Falls 鈥 not least because you can get up close and swim in the pools below. Take the road toward Ga茂a River Lodge (signposted) and 1.5 miles past Blancaneaux Lodge turn along a track to the left marked 'Big Rock.' From the parking area it's a steep walk down (even steeper back up!), aided by timber steps.
