Panther Creek State Park, State park in Morristown, Tennessee, US
The 1,400-acre park features hiking trails through dense forests, offering panoramic views of Cherokee Lake and the surrounding mountains.
The park, established in 1967, preserves land that was once inhabited by Cherokee tribes and later became a settling point for European colonists.
Visitors participate in regular educational programs about local wildlife, plant species, and environmental conservation through ranger-led activities and exhibits.
The park maintains multiple boat ramps, fishing piers, and 15 miles of marked trails, with facilities open daily from 7 AM to sunset.
From the Point Lookout trail at 1,460 feet above sea level, observers can see three states: Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia.
