The trail to Big Bradley Falls is part of an unmarked, untended section of the Green River Game Lands - a rugged tract of land owned by the state for hunting and fishing. Hike at your own risk - the trail is primitive and requires crossing the stream. Proper hiking shoes required. The trail is especially dangerous at the top of the falls. Do not attempt to hike to the bottom. Exit 59 off I-26 on Holbert's Cove Road (away from downtown Saluda). Go 3.4 miles to bottom of gorge. Watch for unpaved parking area on left, just before you cross the stream. The unmarked trail starts at at the orange gate.
