The Panther Hollow Trail is the longest of the bunch. With some steep passes, dry areas and lots of stair-steps, the Upper Panther Trail shares many characteristics with the Canyon Trail. The Lower Panther Trail is very different.
This trail boasts the clearest paths and is fairly easy to manage. The best part, however, is that the Lower Panther Trail begins or ends with a boardwalk overlooking a charming little pond.
Here, you can rest in a rocking chair beneath a pergola, gaze at the fountain or greet the friendly swan who calls this pond home.

Tiffany Cassner. Abram Mejia. October 22, Ceasar Velasquez. Anita Rayner. October 21, This was a good workout! I'm glad I brought more than I thought I would need because I drank it all. There are many, many stairs and I certainly felt it a day and a half after the hike.
This trail isn't a loop, so you'll have to turn around and hike it again to get back to where you started, or have someone come and pick you up at your ending spot. I recommend doing what I did if you don't have someone to pick you up: Start at the bottom, go to the top, come back down to the bottom.
That way your return trip to your car is mostly descending stairs. The trail was pretty wet and muddy even though it hadn't heavily rained to my knowledge before I went. Keep this in mind along with the fact that you have to cross a creek several times and wear appropriate shoes ones that you don't mind getting covered with mud. For the first hour or so of my hike I didn't see but two other people.
After that the place started getting more busy with people and their dogs, so if you want to hike for solitude this isn't the place I didn't mind, though. Only showing last 10 log entries.

A few spots here and there feature nice waterfalls and interesting formations like this depression in the stream bed.
Did we mention that there are lots of stairs on this trail? The northern portions of the trail feature a couple of vistas, otherwise your path is well sheltered by trees and brush. Off of the Little Fern Trail segment Photo by heatharcadia. Stopped to take in the sun rising Photo by heatharcadia.
