Deep Creek is a great place to hike! The trail takes you to three different waterfalls, if you follow the signs to Juney Whank Falls, Indian Creek Falls and Tom's Branch Falls. It is a well mark and beaten wide path. However, please know that you have to turn around and backtrack. We tried to loop around thinking that the wide pathway would take us back, and we ended up hiking an extra 2 mile round-trip. We did not plan to tube due to high chances of rain, but the absolute thing to do is hike with your tube in comfortable water shoes to the falls and ride back down (not from the falls, but from the outermost designated area for "put-in"). We passed more tubers than hikers and we were wishing we could do the same. The river looks like a blast to tube down with lots of rapids. This should be a must on your trip to Bryson City Great Smoky Mountains Trip.

Located in the Deep Creek section of the Great Smoky Mountains National all Park, Tom Branch Falls is the easiest hike of the three waterfalls in this area. The trail is wide, level, and paved; we saw families with small children and strollers using this trail. There is a thick tree canopy, so the trail was comfortable on a hot summer afternoon. To see the falls, you look across the wide creek. There are benches for sitting and watching the tubers float by. We continued on the trail a half mile further to Indian Creek Falls, which is more spectacular. On a Friday afternoon, the trail was busy.

A scenic drive through the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Staying in Bryson City for a few day at Deep Creek Campground. Did this one afternoon and I am so glad we did. The road to Nowhere takes you to the tunnel to nowhere which takes you to a very nice hiking trail. The road was very well maintained and the scenery was unbelievable. We pulled over along the way about 7-8 miles on way to the tunnel. There are a few scenic pull over stops that are breathtaking. I was nervous a little as my husband was the driver and it I did not want him to take his eyes off the road as they twist and turn around the mountain. Some people are driving really fast and come in hot at the end of the road which seems a little dangerous. The road ends at the tunnel. We had to park along the side of the road as there is very few parking spots and it has a lot of visitors. Take the time to do the trail coming out of the tunnel (tunnel bypass trail) it brings you back to the parking lot. It is a very easy trail (narrow). It is very easy trail actually. I feel like just about anyone that can walk a couple of miles can do it. Scenic and worth taking the extra hour to do.
