Juney Whank Falls Details
Thought to be named either after a Junaluksa "Juney" Whank, a man that was reportedly buried in the area, or after an old Cherokee phrase for "where the bear passes", these picturesque falls are split into two sections, which, when combined, measure almost 90 feet. Both the upper and lower section can be viewed from a footbridge along the Juney Whank Falls Trail, a very short, but moderately difficult trail departing from the Deep Creek area. Trailhead: Follow the signs through downtown Bryson City to Deep Creek Campground. Continue past the campground to the trailhead at the end of Deep Creek Road. Backtrack on foot 0.1 mile along the road to the trail.
