Description
I began to wonder if this hike was going to be worth it after trudging
along for 20 minutes and all I saw was garbage and a very crowded trail.
However, if you stick to it and get past roughly the 1.0 mile mark the
trail starts to follow some beautiful raging creeks, cross refreshing
streams, and take you along some beautiful falls (Angel Falls and Panther
Creek Falls).

Note: Pay attention to the blazes about an hour into the hike - at one
point the trail will look as if it takes you over a cliff, backtrack about
15 ft and look for a blaze on the rockface - you have to climb up the
rockface about 7ft to pick up the trail again. Also, Pay attention to
footing along the trail directly after Angel Falls, parts of the trail are
worn away and railing is being put in place for stability.


There are some nice and secluded campsites along the creek about 2 miles
into the hike. There is an awesome campsite right next to Angel Falls
(about half way through) along the rockface.

Directions to Hike
Take US 23/441 south from Tallulah Falls. In 3 miles, turn right on
Historic 441 to the Panther Creek Recreation Area on the right (fee area).
The western end of the trail begins across the highway from the Recreation
area. The eastern end of the trail can be reached by driving west on Yonah
Dam Road.
