Mouse Creek Falls, Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Great trail, very nice walkway beside creek lots of places to walk close and see very nice cascades . Water was very clear. You can’t miss the falls you will see a hitching post for horses to the left , and falls are right there. Make sure you walk up about another .15 of a mile until you get to bridge. Nice cascade there to look at with good spot to take pictures. Very nice waterfall for not a bad hike.

This is part of Big Creek Trail. I put Mouse Creek Falls into my GPS and it took us to the wrong place. If you find yourself on a one lane gravel road going up a mountain, you’re going the wrong way. If you find yourself on a gravel road that drives through a small creek before a steep incline, you’re going the wrong way. Just put Big Creek into the GPS and you will find it. Absolutely gorgeous hike with lots of places to go off the trail and get into the water. The swimming hole was packed so these other options were great. Easy hike but definitely wear good shoes and bring water shoes to get into the water. We made a whole day of it but it could be done in two hours if you didn’t stop to enjoy the surroundings. The falls themselves were amazing. My 10 year old was able to cross the stream and stand in the waterfall itself. (He is not athletic) I could not recommend this hike more.
