Lower Panthertown Creek Falls2113 viewsThe hike to the lower falls is pretty easy until the turn off below The Great Wall, then there is nothing that can be called a trail, just a few faded ribbons and a few clips.

This 0.2 mile bushwhack through a recent controlled burn I would rate difficult for those not accustomed to Bushwhacking.

Roaming Knob Camping1782 viewsThe wall is about 300 ft high and the Roaming Knob, shown here camping with family members, is about 5 ft tall.

Go there in Winter, it is worth the moderate hike. Summer brings lots of leaves to block ones view.
