When you’re lucky enough to live in a state that has natural features like a secluded waterfall beach, then you should probably take advantage of them as often as you can. Granted, this hike is not for the faint of heart, which is certainly what adds to the peace and quiet of it all. But if you’re willing to tackle this nearly 7-mile round trip trail, then you certainly won’t be disappointed with what you find.

Panther Creek Trail is one of the best hiking opportunities in northern Georgia.
