Swain County North Carolina Waterfalls
Indian

Great
Smoky Mountains National Park
Indian Creek Falls is a 1.5 mile roundtrip hike out of the Deep Creek
Area. Sliding down 35 feet of sloping rock strata, the water livens and
cools the air. Along the route is Toms Branch
Falls, another beautiful fall.
Directions:
From Bryson City, North Carolina drive two miles north on West Deep Creek Road until you
enter the Deep Creek area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In the
park, continue another three-quarter miles to a parking lot where the paved
road ends. Park your car.

At the north end of the parking lot, past the turn-around circle, the old
dirt road continues past a vehicle barrier, at which point Deep Creek Road
becomes Deep
Creek Trail. Follow the trail, past Tom
Branch Falls, for about 0.75 mile to the junction of Deep Creek and
Indian Creek. Take the right-hand fork and follow Indian
Creek Trail a few hundred feet to Indian Creek Falls.
