Panther Creek State Park
2010 Panther Creek Park Road

The Treadin' Trodden Trails team is excited to travel thirty-five miles northeast of Knoxville to Panther Creek State Park again to this verdant and wondrous paradise of woods and lake for an arduous romp through the forest. The longer distance option will be about ten miles in length, and the shorter race will cover five miles. Both trails will definitely present runners with a good test of their fitness, as well as offer a delightful tour of the park. Both courses will begin at the overlook in the northwest corner of the park, descend a steep single track, and then wind up, down, and around, in an entertaining series of circuitous loops through the woods and along the glittering waters of the lake.
