Panther Peak Trail

A short spur in the Lake Waneta-Nicks network, this unmarked route extends less than half a kilometer and is often used to access Panther Peak's summit from the main trail system. The absence of blazes or signage means that confident map-and-compass work is advisable, particularly where the tread grows faint. Despite its brevity, the path is reported to demand attention to route-finding in a region where established trails are already sparse.
