Fantastic park. Great views. Recreational activities terrific. Spacious. Campground clean.

I was fortunate enough to live only 25 minutes away for three years before leaving for the military. Panther Creek State Park is my favorite state park that Ive visited and I made it my goal to hike every trail in the park before leaving Tennessee (which I accomplished). Grateful for all the memories this amazing place has given me and I always make sure to stop by when visiting home. It is one of my favorite places in the world. Id recommend Ridgecrest trail to anyone who only has a few hours there. But if you have more time Id recommend the point lookout trail and Maple arch trail as well. Absolutely beautiful. The biking trails here are also great as well as kayaking off the parks coasts and inlets. Tennessee at its best, and a state park at its best.

Beautiful campsite. #40 spot is large. Check out the view at the top of the hill

Panther Creek is a great park if youre looking for a beautiful scenic place to hike. You can see Cherokee Lake from several spots along the trail and the lake is accessible if you needed a dip along the way.

Nice stopping spot east of Knoxville. Easy access to I 81. I 40 on the other hand required a bit of congested driving. The park was nice. Sites were a bit tight but mine was long enough for the trailer and tv. The camp store is closed through Wednesday so if you need ice bring it with you. Bathrooms were clean. There is access to a lake and trails to hike. Overall I prefer more woods and more space. Thats why I gave it a 3 star rating.

We had a great time kayaking there. The parks main entrance/area has all you need for a picnic, or a good hike with friends and family. But we went to the boat ramp to do some kayaking.

I went here with my two year old not even knowing there was a nice playground right before the trails. We each had something to enjoy and we spend 4 hours here and the time flew by! There is so much space to roam around and plenty of trails to walk/run/cycle on.

Loved the scenery- hiking to beaches is a different experience. Highly recommend for a day away

Such a beautiful state park. Great hikes that really showcase the beautiful trees and waterways.

One of the most beautiful spots to stop at if you’re in the Morsetowne White Pine area. With very beautiful scenic views looking over the like a national picnic areas to have a family picnic. This place is always a must to stop by whenever I’m in the area

We love that the state park was free but the trails werent all that well marked and we ended up having to double back when doing the 7 Sink Hole Trail.

Beautiful . We loved the park and there is so much to see and do. Cant wait to make a day exploring the trails.

I mean.. Come on.. Oh look scenic mountain views.. Oh wait an adorable bridge with a mountain stream running under it.. Oh wait.. Rv and tent camping... Yeah... Epic

Nice campground. Water and electric. Hiked today. Look out point. Very pretty.

My first time there, really nice overlook, pavilions and fall leaves.

Great variety of hiking trails! Scenic views.

This is a beautiful park just hour and 15 minutes from West knoxville. Multiple trails with beautiful view as reward in the end. Some trails are not marked adequately, but its a good practice for a backcountry trek. They are not long to get lost. Fellow hikers are friendly. The staff at the office is also great.

Perfect place to bring your dog and explore.You get the views, he gets the smells.

I love this place. We like to have picnics at the top overlooking the lake!

Great pace to camp!! Beautiful place.clean bathrooms.awesome office ladies and the park ranger named Jacob was so nice and very helpful.had a great time!!

Great place. Lots of space. Good views. I ran a trail race here and found it very accommodating. Nice trails.

A nice clean campground with good restrooms and showers. Sites are level for campersLots of hiking trail, mountain bike trails and horse trailsCherokee lake is great for paddling and/or boatingBig playgroundPanther Creek is a fun creek for kids to wade and play in since the pool is closed

Me and my husband enjoyed Panther Creek was fun riding through and looking at all the information on the signs and the Beautiful water and mountains heading at the low picnic tables that they have everywhere

Love this park and its close to home. Tons of walking trails and a nice little campground.

A jewel of Hamblen County..Just a beautiful Autumn walk..

It is easy to get lost, trails are poorly marked. The landscapes themselves are nice. Map isnt that helpful.

Nice Trails and facilities, Great Views and Pet friendly

I have been spending time in Panther Creek park for years now. There are many trails to hike going to various locations of interest like sinkholes and ridges with overlooks of the lake. The campground is quite cozy and setup with useful amenities. The rangers are generally easy to get along with and friendly. Highly recommended for families with children. The playground is top notch and there is a pool area open during the summer months.

So peaceful and beautiful and clean thanks for all the hard work of keeping up with it so we can enjoy its beauty!

Panther Creek state park is small but very clean. Not much to do unless you have kayaks. The lake is beautiful. We camped there for two days and the spots are paved and level. No sewer hoop ups. No cable.

The trails were well maintained, the campsites were tidy, orderly and respectful, and the bathrooms were warm, clean and stocked.I will be back.

Excellent place to do some hiking for the kids, families.

The bath house could have used a little more detail cleanliness. The camp store was not opened making all things needed requiring a trip to town. The park grounds were beautiful and well taken care of.

This is a great park for everyone would definitely recommend

We had a family cook out at one of rented pavilions. Was very nice and clean

A great place for day hikes for the entire family. Plenty of picturesque locations and trails kids can handle. We went when the water was really low in the lakes, which made it actually more fun for the kids!They have several nice bathroom areas and picnic spots as well. The kids enjoyed the playground also!Looks like they do a great job of putting on weddings - they were setting up a wedding spot that overlooked the lakes and it looked amazing!We saw several families at different pavilions - one group was having a birthday party, and the other was a family reunion. Looks like the perfect place for both!

Large wooded area with pool, campground and picnic areas. Hiking and horse trails are plentiful. Scenic overlook

Beautiful park. Always a great day visit. However, if you want to camp, any weekend days during the warm months, you must reserve your site in this small campground, months in advance. It is booked every year for weekends all Summer.

Not a full hook up but a very nice park! Clean shower houses a definite plus! The raccoons will get really close to your camp but will scurry away when you approach. Great place to camp!

Mountain Bike trails were awesome! Thought they were going to get the better of me. Couldnt make it up hills, was dizzy, shaking. Thought the course might have been too tough, but later found out it was the 6 month old water my brother-in-law gave me

Got married at panther Creek state park 28 years ago and the bridge we were married on is being replaced with a modern aluminium bridge memories

Waters clean and deliciousBring leveling blocks flat its notPower n water under 30 bucksCant beat it

Great views from the overlook - park is clean. Visitors center is open for business.

Amazing. Pictures do not do this Justice. I have high every one of those trails by myself best therapy on Earth

The best park around here. The scenery is great. Theres a play ground for children. Theres a camp ground. You can hike. Wide life to see if theres no loud cars.The creek is pretty clean. Kids love to get in it. And without COVID the pool is usually open. The only negative thing is the teens absouletly fly through there in theyre cars and no park rangers are watching. And the playground equipment could use a complete overhaul. Its just old and worn.

Amazingly beautiful. I even saw an American Bald Eagle.

A most beautiful state park in Morristown, Tennessee. There are campsites, some with full hookups, some with partial. The animal life is abundant, the views are breathtaking!! The prices are extremely reasonable, and the rangers are friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful park that offers all kinds of activities. Camping,hiking, playground,picnic areas,restrooms and it is free. They do have donation boxes.

Nice, roomy sites in a lovely park. Sites with paved driveways close enough to level that I didnt need stabilizer blocks, but close. Wifi, but dont count on it. Didnt check out the bathhouses. Dump station ok, but not great - uphill bump to drain port, & rinse water somewhat difficult. Lots of trails.

Beautiful place to hike. There are plenty of trails that somewhat intertwine that you might get a bit lost.

Not my favorite park but it definitely was fun.

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful views, No Crowds!!

I love this place I like the hiking trails an my grandsons love the lil park creeks an the bridges plus its pet friendly an I always see some kind of wild life ice never been to any of the events they have available well did have but they seemed very interesting something Id like to get my grandkids into to learn about wildlife oh an the look out at the too is great I just wish ppl would be more respectful an not litter

We had a very nice view from where we drove to.

Panther Creek is a beautiful place to visit. I think I want my wedding at the little swim spot. The trails are good for all ages to enjoy,

Absolutely gorgeous scenery! Everything is clean, and there are great picnic areas. The overlooks are stunning. The paths are very well laid out, and lead to peaceful spots. This is nature at its fullest. We had a great time. Well definitely be visiting again!

Local campground for us but it’s still a nice place to spend the weekend for us. Great bathhouses and a great state park. Lots of trails and right next to the lake. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge less than an hour away depending on traffic. Highly recommend.

Nice, clean, peaceful, well maintained park. It also has a nice disk golf course. Nice hiking trails, bicycle trails and a 5k course. All the trails are clearly marked. Also a swimming pool.

This is such a beautiful park. Stayed at the campground a couple nights with the family and it was awesome. Everyone was so nice, the bathhouses were very clean and as far as campsites, dont think you can get a bad one, theyre all very well accessible and spacious. We will surely camp here again. Thanks for the memories PCSP.

Short hike on Seven Sink Holes Trail back to parking to Ore Mine Trail to List Road Trail back to parking.

Beautiful, deer grazing all over, scenic trails, scenic lake views, clean bathrooms, well taken care of park

Love love love this place! Come swim with your horses on a hot summer day. Beautiful trails to ride!!!! Awesome place!

So beautiful. Miles of hiking, amazing stretches of driftwood

Awesome as always leafs are changing looks so pretty

All so beautiful. Overlooking beautiful Cherokee Lake. A must see

Theres a creek to play in, endless trails in beautiful scenery to walk, 2 volleyball court with sand that kids can play in as well, soccer fields, tennis courts and more to enjoy!

Very nice park. Lots of hiking and programs. Very helpful rangers and staff.

Turtles on the trails. Be sure to check out my pictures. Beautiful place. Lots of hiking trails, fishing and camping. The sunsets are amazing. There are lots of places for children to play and a swimming pool. We usually see deer on the trails. And dont forget to say hello to teddy the owl.

It’s a really great place to visit and spend the day. It’s a gorgeous place to see the lake and relax. There is a campground there as well as some swing sets for the kiddos and during the summer there is a pool. It’s a good day trip for the whole family to enjoy and have a picnic. They have pavilions to use for weddings and family reunions and such.

Love this place. With in an hour of our home so we have been about 9 times.

Beautiful state park. Clean restrooms and one of the best disc golf courses you can find.

Plenty of accessible hiking trails for adventurers of all sizes and ages. Beautiful views of the lake abound. Plenty of facilities & picnic areas. The ridge Crest trail is steep, but worth the climb back up afterwards.

I love Panther Creek State Park. It has been one of my favorite places to visit since I was a kid. Saw 2 deer there today. It was just absolutely beautiful there. It always is.

Variety of trail systems that go down to the water, picnic/grill and disc golf facilities. Posted trails from easy to intermediate, longest route loop i found was 3.3 mi.

Great love seeing the deer and wild life. Its very peaceful place.

We took our [new] motorhome out for the first shake-down. Im so glad we went to Panther Creek. Among the nicest State Park Ive ever visited. Well certainly be back, in warmer weather, so we may explore the beautiful biking roads nearby.

Always a great place to visit and enjoy the scenery.

Its a nice place to hike and enjoy nature

Always a great place to hang out.

It was spacious, the grounds were clean, no trash on the hiking trails, the bath houses were super clean, everyone was really nice. Hope to go back soon, this was our first trip in our travel trailer.

Love this park walk there daily trails are great thru the woods and all levels. And it is very well kept up and beautiful views. People are so friendly and helpful and so are the animals

So glad to have this great park in our new neighborhood! We love being so close to a great place to hike, bike, kayak and camp!!

Hiking, biking, volleyball, creek, playground, picnic areas! Love it!

Love this place and the beautiful fall colors!

Great park. Great trails. Great views!

I couldnt decide on 4 or 5 stars.. I would have given 5 stars for the awesome trails that were everywhere but really only 3 or 4 for the small campsites. The bathrooms were super great though with new tile, showers and heated so that was a tremendous plus. Its not a very big campground and most campers had RVs. I had a tent and really enjoyed my stay but mainly for the beautiful trails that me and my dog could enjoy.

Beautiful park. Best hiking trails in East TN.

We only live 3 miles from this park and we cant imagine living any further from it! There are many trails to hike, run as well as bike riding and trails for horseback riding. I run here 3 to 4 times per week. Theres a beautiful creek that runs thru the middle of the park that is stocked with trout in the spring and there are soccer fields as well as a public swimming pool and basketball courts. Its a wonderful place to bring your family! Theres also access to Lake Cherokee. Dont forget to bring your dog!

Very nice park great look out over lake

LOVE this park! Excellent hiking trails for beginners

Lots of trails to hike on. Streams that kids can play in. Love their swimming pool and campground.

Great park, lots of activities for everyone. Weekdays are great for quiet hikes, weekends are extremely busy there. The park is one of the best Ive ever been to.

Panther Creek State Park is so beautiful and peaceful. We went there this evening and just enjoyed the peace and quiet. It wasnt very busy like a lot of other parks are. Id definitely recommend this park for camping, picnicking, and some time away from the rush of life.

Beautiful park with awesome trails. Campground was clean and accepts big rigs. Some level sights and nice playground for kids

Great place to go hiking. Many different walking paths to take.

Amazing views!

Great place..first time I had visited...brought back lots of old memories...

Beautiful state park! Very clean and well maintained. The bathrooms were well stocked and clean. Beautiful views everywhere! Lots of plaques with the history of the park on it. A must see!

I go here to Panther Creek for the disc golf course. Which is my favorite disc golf course ever. Its 10,000 ft long and beautiful. Very well maintained. New baskets. Concrete tee pads. So many iconic Fairways and greens. The rest of the park seems beautiful as well. Theres a playground, a pool, tennis courts, volleyball net, and public restrooms. Its an hour and 45 minute drive for me but I love making the trip just for the disc golf course.

We hiked two trails along the lake. Very pretty. Trails were well maintained. Not crowded. Nice picnic facilities and good playground for the kids. Dogs welcome on leash.
