We headed west this Saturday instead of the usual east or south for our hike. Our destination was Panther Creek State Park near Morristown, Tennessee. It is a scenic park that sits alongside Lake Cherokee. We stopped at the visitor center for maps and recommendations, and settled on doing the loop that overlooks the lake when you reach the top. It is called Lookout Point loop. We also took a spur trail to the lake's edge, and had a break on a well positioned log. Our total mileage was nearly 3 miles. As we returned to the beginning of the loop, the heat and humidity increased, so lunch on a shaded picnic table was a nice reprieve. It was a good day, and a good park. There are several trails in the park, so a return trip is probable.
