Going to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Indian Creek Falls
BRYSON CITY AREA
Round-trip: 2.4 miles (3.9 kilometers)
Difficulty: easy to moderate
Trailhead: Begin at the trailhead at the upper end of the Deep Creek picnic area. To find the picnic area, follow signs through downtown Bryson City, North Carolina.

This hike is a fun way to see three great waterfalls: Tom Branch Falls, Indian Creek Falls, and Juney Whank Falls. Deep Creek Trail follows an old roadbed along Deep Creek popular with tubers, where you will pass Tom Branch Falls. At 0.7 mile, turn right onto Indian Creek Trail and walk 100 yards to the 25-foot-high Indian Creek Falls. After 0.10 mile, turn left onto Deep Creek Horse Trail and follow signs to Juney Whank Falls. Many people tube down Deep Creek from Indian Creek to the park boundary.
