About Panther Creek State Park

Panther Creek State Park is a 1,444-acre park located on the Cherokee Reservoir in the historic Holston River Valley. Pioneers from North Carolina and the older Watauga Settlement in East Tennessee arrived in this area around 1785. Hikers can enjoy magnificent views of Cherokee Lake and the Cumberland Mountains from Point Lookout Trail, reaching 1,460 feet above sea level. There are also more than 15 miles of mountain biking trails that range from easy to difficult. Visitors can extend their stay with a night at the campground.
