About Juney Whank Falls

Juney Whank Falls delivers a rewarding waterfall experience without the crowds that plague more famous Smokies destinations. The 0.3-mile trail is deceptively steep with two staircase sections, but visitors consistently praise the peaceful atmosphere and the bonus of encountering 2-3 additional smaller falls along the way. This is a gem for those who prefer a quiet forest walk over chasing towering cascades—just don't expect Niagara-level drama.
