| Chasteen Creek Falls | Mingo Falls (Actually On Cherokee Indian Reservation) Arguably the most stunning cascade in the region is Mingo Falls on the Cherokee
Indian Reservation. From the Saunooke Village shopping area in downtown
Cherokee, drive north on Big Cove Road approximately 5 miles (past the KOA
Campground) to the Mingo Falls parking lot. The walk from the parking lot is
short (just a hundred yards) but very steep. Meaning "Big Bear" in the Cherokee language, Mingo Falls is located in the Big Cove Community, near Cherokee. "Kalvnyi" (the Raven Place as Big Cove is known in Cherokee) is a large watershed around Raven’s Fork and its tributaries |

| Indian Creek Falls - Continuing along the Deep Creek trail for approximately one mile, the trail winds up a slight grade to where Indian Creek spills into Deep Creek. Follow the Indian Creek Trail to the right 200 feet uphill to Indian Creek Falls, a high-spirited waterfall that noisily plunges 25 feet to the pool below. A small spur trail leads to the bottom of the falls. | Rainbow Falls | |
| Juneywhank Falls - From the Deep Creek trailhead parking area, follow the well-marked trail 1/4 mil
uphill to Juneywhank Falls. The roar of the falls can be heard even before you
reach it. An eighty-foot cascade of water starts above you and runs under a log
footbridge with handrails, and meets up with Deep Creek at the bottom of the
trail. There are two theories regarding the name of this branch and falls. Some say it was named for a Mr. Junaluska “Juney” Whank, who is said to be buried near the falls. However, "Juney Whank" is also a Cherokee phrase, which has been translated to mean “place where the bear passes. |
Ramsay Cascades | |
| Tom Branch Falls - Starting back at the main trailhead, walk just 1,000 feet along the wide, flat Deep “Creek trail to Tom Branch Falls, a wispy waterfall that gently splashes over 80 feet into Deep Creek. A bench is provided beside the creek and is a great place to sit and watch the tubers float by. | ||
| Laurel Falls | Twentymile Cascade is a small waterfall at the southwestern corner of the Park. From Fontana Village Resort, drive six miles west on Highway 28 to the Twentymile Ranger Station where the Twentymile Trail begins. Hike a half-mile to the first bridge, bear right and continue another 100 yards to the narrow spur trail, which leads off to the right and to the Twentymile Cascade. |
