Juney Whank Falls

Juney Whank Falls is a scenic 90-foot waterfall split into an upper and lower section in the Deep Creek area of the park just outside Bryson City, NC. The hike to the falls is a moderate 0.8-mile round trip. From the parking area, head to the left to pick up Juney Whank Falls Trail. The trail is moderately steep, but short, and leads to a footbridge over the waterfall in between the upper and lower sections. From here, you can get good views of the upper section or climb down a bit for views of the lower section. This is another easy-to-get waterfall in the Deep Creek area that's appropriate for most people in reasonably good shape. For the more adventurous, there are two other waterfalls in this area - Tom Branch and Indian Creek Falls. Take Deep Creek Horse Trail to make a 2.2 mile loop to see all three waterfalls or you can backtrack to the parking area and hike Deep Creek Trail to see the other two.
