Panther Creek State Park
Morristown, Tennessee

Panther Creek Park is a rustic park with 1,400 + acres of land.
The park is mostly a wooded area that sits along side the Cherokee Lake.
The land at one time was considered a part of "The Great Cherokee Hunting Ground" and below the waters of the Cherokee Lake lies the Great Indian Warpath once followed by Daniel Boone.
Legend has it that Panther Creek received its names from Colonel Bradley of Virgina while exploring the area he shot a panther that fell into the spring thus the name Pather Creek.
