Trail Comment	Several reflections on this trail. First, placement of marker signs could be improved, especially where many social trails spread out across rocky terrain. Missed the main path in one section both going down and coming back up. Second, views of lake will be better during the leaf-off seasons. Finally, litter was picked up at the small beach to fill a grocery bag, which was fortunately rare throughout the entire park.
Hike Comment	Early morning hike to begin checking out the trails in Panther Creek State Park. Picked this one first as reported to have the most elevation change thus tackle while fresh – and a good geocache along the way. Enjoyed a pretty sunrise over the lake during the cool morning.
