Itinerary description
Beginning near the Yonah Dam entrance - Hiking west toward the Panther Creek Falls, Stopping short of the actual falls due to weather and pain :).
Much unmarked trail along the creek - After misguided advice to cross on second bridge, which does not exist, knee deep water crossing to get back on trail.
Use the first bridge near the trail head/parking.
Unlike the top section of Panther Creek trail, this section is barely used just a beautiful, even in a down-pouring of rain.
Can't wait to do it again.

We went Labor Day and found the tail blocked by a tree within sight and earshot of the falls. My friend almost fell trying to cross over the tree and opted not to risk it again. Was it blocked when you did it?
