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.
Panther Peak Trail runs 0.2 miles (0.4 km) with about 79 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, with a moderate, steady climb, about 10 minutes on the trail.
