About Panther Creek State Park

Cherokee Dam's construction on the Holston River created Cherokee Lake, and this park sits along its shore, covering about 1,444 acres. Tennessee State Route 342 begins inside the park and links it to U.S. Route 11E, giving direct road access to the lakefront land.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
