Juney Whank Falls. North Carolina.

The Juney Whank Falls trailhead is located just north of Bryson City in North Carolina.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.

The stream and the falls are more than likely named for Junaluska "Juney" Whank, a man said to be buried in the area. However, there are some people who believe Juney Whank is a Cherokee phrase which means "where the bear passes"
