Other than the private helipad owned by Southern California Edison, the only way in or out of the town is Big Creek Road, off of State Route 168.
The dam has a walkway across it to the south bank, but access is limited to employees of SCE and those residents who have been given a key. Its major industries are electric power generation and tourism. There is camping and water recreation in the summer and snow skiing in the winter. Huntington Lake is to the northeast and Shaver Lake is to the south.
China Peak is only about 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) away. Though Big Creek's only school is an elementary, it teaches kindergarten through 8th grade. The penstock pipes for the original two units at Big Creek Power Houses One and Two, built 1912–13, were purchased from the Krupp Works in Germany because at that time that manufacturer produced steel pipes of the tensile strength needed to contain the very high water pressures in the pipes in the 1,500 foot (460 m) drop down to Power House One.
All post-World War One penstock pipes were manufactured in the United States.The first post office opened at Big Creek in 1912.Half the town's homes were destroyed by the 2020 Creek Fire.
