The Juney Whank Falls trailhead is located just north of Bryson City in North Carolina. To get there from Cherokee, head south on Rt. 19. You will drive exactly 10 miles from the intersection of 441 and 19 in Cherokee to Everett Street in Bryson City. Turn right onto Everett and drive for 0.2 miles. Turn right onto Depot Street. After a short distance, take a left onto Ramseur

Street and then an immediate right onto Deep Creek Road. Drive 2.3 miles to the park entrance and then another 0.5 mile to the parking lot for the Juney Whank Falls Trail.

 

Trail Description:

The trail to Juney Whank Falls is only a quarter of a mile from the parking lot. The trail leads you to a footbridge that gives you an up-close view of the falls. The 80-foot cascade starts above you and then runs under the bridge before emptying into Deep Creek at the bottom of the trail. 

As an option, Toms Branch Falls and Indian Creek Falls are short easy hikes to see additional waterfalls in this area as well. They are both accessed from the same parking lot as Juney Whank Falls Trail.
