Big Panther Creek

Paddled the last 3 miles of this section, putting in at what google maps refers to as the 'Panther Creek Trail East Trailhead', with the gauge for the upper hooch at 6ft and the Chattooga gauge near Clayton at 5.4ft. This river is kinda between those so I used them as a reference. Only class II stuff found within the lower 3 miles. With the water level that high there were really no rocks or anything to avoid and there were several spots with some decent waves. No riverwide strainers were found and all were easily avoidable. A fun paddle for a couple of fairly new paddlers, but if you're capable and comfortable running the stuff above the 'Panther Creek East Trailhead' then I'd say you wouldn't find the last 3 miles worthwhile.
