Deep Creek Trails - An Easy Walk to Enjoy the
Beauty of Three Rushing Waterfalls
Indian Creek Falls after an exceptionally heavy spring rain.
An unusually wet spring has brought plenty of water to our creeks and rivers.
This is good news for you waterfall lovers and also those who love tubing the "whitewater" of Deep Creek.
HIking is free and renting a tube for the whole day is only $3, so you've got no excuse to get out and enjoy the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park just outside Bryson City.
This is fun for all ages including little kids who can spend hours just splashing around in the water, or tubing the lazier section of Deep Creek below the fast water area.
Have a shady picnic lunch before you head out on the trails. Whether you are walking, biking or riding your own horse, you'll have a stress-free, relaxing time by the creek.
