Panther Creek Challenge
9:00 am
Once again Panther Creek State Park hosts Treadin’ Trodden Trails Series. This year the main race will be approximately ten miles in length, for the first time they are offering a five mile option that will present runners with a good test of fitness. However, points will only accrue in the ten mile race.
The course will begin at the overlook descend a steep singletrack, and then wind up, down, and around, in a dizzying ten-mile series of loops through the woods and along the pristine waters of the lake. Last year’s third annual event was extremely well received and this year’s promises once again to be an event not to be missed by the avid trailster.

About Friends Groups
In 1993, Tennessee passed legislation authorizing private, non-profit groups to organize for “maintaining and enhancing the purposes, programs and functions of the state park system”. These groups, more commonly known as Friends, are concerned citizens who have banded together to assist in protecting, preserving and promoting the beauty and the splendor of their favorite state park. They give selflessly of their time, talents and energy to help ensure the park’s integrity is intact for future generations to enjoy.

Thank you.
looking for a place to ride bikes was told it was a great place to ride
We have multi use trails that are bike friendly. Check out the trails page under “the park” header. You can print a map there or stop by the visitor center for a trail map. Our trails go from easy to extreme so a map will be your best friend. You are also permitted to ride your bike on the roads within the park. I would recommend wearing protective gear, at the least a helmet.
I hope you enjoy your time at the park. If you have any questions call or stop by the park office. We have a local bike club that not only blazes the trails, but they also help with trail maintenance. If you want to get in touch with them please reply and I’ll share contact info. Thanks again. Isaac
