A GUIDE’S GUIDE TO PANTHERTOWN, BONAS DEFEAT, AND BIG PISGAH

Newly Revised, Expanded, Waterproof Edition, 2013

Trails, Natural Features, and History

All new, expanded, waterproof edition

By Burt Kornegay, a Panthertown guide since 1990, and owner of Slickrock Expeditions

Known as “the Yosemite of the East,” Panthertown Valley offers many miles of trails and footpaths to waterfalls, gorges, rocky overlooks, and deep forests for day hikers and backpackers to explore. Combined with spectacular Bonas Defeat Gorge to the north and Big Pisgah Mountain to the east, the entire 12,000-acre National Forest tract is one of the most varied and beautiful wild areas in the Southern Appalachians.

Many of the trails and footpaths are unmarked by signs or blazes, and hikers will find this Guide’s Guide trail map to be essential in finding their way. The topographic map shows not only all the official Forest Service trails but the many unofficial footpaths as well. On the reverse side is a detailed explanation of Panthertown’s natural and human history, along with suggestions for possible hikes.
