Hiking - Big Sandy Creek/Wonder Falls

Description

Swimming holes abound at this clean creek (a minority in Preston Co.). Wonder Falls, the most popular swimming hole is 1 mile downstream from the bridge, accessable by walking down a rough 4x4 rd on river right. Be aware that there are times (usually on weekends and nighttime) that this area is frequented by locals and college students drinking and partying.
