Gotta do a survey to be able to access article....
The link worked fine for me.
Panthertown Valley is a hidden jewel filled with waterfalls and trails. I know a guy who hiked the AT and lives in the North Georgia mountains. He camps out at least 1 week a month and goes nowhere else except Panthertown Valley.
One thing for sure, you need a map for the valley as the trails are clear but not well marked.

Looks like a great place. "Yosemite of the South" Very interesting!
Over the past dozen years I have spent 30+ nights in Panthertown. I have never gotten bored with the area, although if you end up hitting it on the wrong weekend you may find it overcrowded. I could see it becoming a poster child for reservations.
