Panther Brook Trail

A modest path threading 2.3 kilometers through the backcountry, this route is reported to run without blazes or formal markers, demanding attentive navigation and a degree of self-reliance from those who follow it. The absence of signage lends the walk a quieter, less regulated character than more heavily traveled corridors in the region. Those comfortable reading terrain and keeping their bearings will find it a serviceable if unassuming link in the broader trail network.
