Maryville Ride - Panther Creek State park Overlook

Join us for the Maryville Ride at Panther Creek State Park Overlook in Morristown, TN, on August 7, 2026, at 10 AM. Bring a brown bag lunch and immerse yourself in the rich history of the area, once known as Panther Springs. While there are no records of Cherokee villages here, it is believed the Cherokee regarded this land as part of the Great Hunting Ground, designated by the Great Spirit for hunting rather than habitation. Explore the valley where the Cherokee hunted deer, elk, small mammals, and game birds, providing essential food and clothing for their tribe.
