The mission of Friends of Panthertown is to work in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service to conserve this outstanding natural resource while improving the quality and experience of recreational opportunities in Panthertown.

Our volunteers maintain 30 miles of public trails in this treasured backcountry recreation area located on Nantahala National Forest in Western North Carolina.

🌳Volunteers and organizations working together for Panthertown Valley!

The Stew Crew out today taking care of all the hanging limbs, briars waiting to hug you, and tall grass on the north end of Powerline Road Trail. Ready for horses, mountain bikes, and hikers, and just in time for snake season!

Happy National Trails Day from Friends of @panthertownvalley #nationaltrailsday

Our volunteers work as pretty as Mountain Laurel in full bloom! Three workdays happened since I last posted with more efforts on Macs Gap, Panthertown Valley Trail and Green Valley! Looking good out there folks.

🌳 Thursdays Trailside Trillium brought to you by the Panthertown Stew Crew on Mac’s Gap Trail. A fun and gorgeous day out giving back to our public lands here in Western NC! Thank you volunteers 🙏 (if you squint your eyes the trillium looks more in focus, but we know it’s really all about those good looking volunteers behind it)

Spring has sprung in the higher elevation of Panthertown Valley. Yesterday we worked on cleaning up the Granny Burrell Trail for all the creekside summer fun ahead! As always, respect plants and wildlife, Leave No Trace when visiting public lands 💚

🌎 Every week is EARTH week in Panthertown Valley! As the seasons flow in this high elevation bog valley, there’s always something new and beautiful to see!! Be a land steward... dispose of waste properly and leave what you find 🌎

🌳Weekend with WCU rainforest mud puddle relief team!! Gettin dirty to keep it clean on Macs Gap Trail 💚 Nothing like rinsing off to capture a plastic bottle eddied out below Granny Burrell ♻️

It is through shared stewardship we care of our public lands! Join us weekly in Panthertown for trail maintenance days and special projects like this culvert rock armor last week. We also finished pruning Rattlesnake Knob Trail, both on the less traveled North end.

Can we get a thumbs up!!

Smiles for trails!! Thank you Panthertown Stew Crew!!

Spotted, a pre Panthertown Scavenger Hunt survey!
