Big Bradley Falls 

Big Bradley is a very nice waterfall with an intense(!) climb to get to the base of. There is a high overlook further along the trail which avoids this climb. A creek crossing which will likely get you wet is required. Info HERE and HERE

10/8/2004 - I met SCJack in Columbus and we visited Big and Little Bradley Falls. I was glad to be hiking with someone experienced with the descent to the base of this one. I would likely not have attempted it alone.

Parking is at a wide pulloff at 35.26196 -82.28504
