TRAIL INFO. – Our hike today was on the Panther Creek Trail near Tallulah Falls, GA. off of old Hwy. 441. This is a popular trail which starts at Panther Creek Park and ends near Yonah Dam. We hiked to Panther Creek Falls which is a little more than 7 miles round trip. Another beautiful hiking day! Clear skies and chilly with temps ranging from 21-41 degrees F. A beautiful, well-marked trail with a couple of tricky footing areas where caution must be taken. |
 The start of the trail at Panther Creek Park. |
 Some of the steeper cliffs along the trail have hand rails.(cables) |
 There are many nice views of Panther Creek all along the trail. |
 This is the area just above the falls. |

 A great day for a nice warm campfire! |
