Panther Creek Falls
Panther Creek Falls is one of the larger as well as most beautiful waterfalls in northern Georgia. They are approximately 50 feet high but are probably 80-100 feet wide. The eastern trailhead to Panther Creek Falls begins on Historic 441 at the Panther Creek Picnic are in Clarkesville, Georgia. The hike is over 3 miles to the falls, and while generally easy does have some areas that require some agility as you are making your way along cliff walls high above the stream. The trail generally follows Big Panther Creek, and crosses it via a foot bridge at roughly the half-way point in the hike. Supposedly camping is not allowed along this trail but that is obviously ignored. There are many great places to camp along the trail and near the stream, especially in the middle portion of the hike after crossing to the south side of the stream.
