Panther Falls, VA

This trip was quite spontaneous but def. worth it. The weather was unseasonably warm; however, the chill off the water was noticeable. This waterfall is made possible by the Pedlar River. it is said that is waterfall got its name because panthers were known to roam the area. The hike to the waterfall was very simple and quick . . . I was shocked how short the distance was from the parking area to the actual falls. This spot is very popular during the warmer months. It is the hot spot for locals to enjoy the high diving from the large boulders surrounding the falls. In certain points of the pool, it is recorded to be 20 ft. deep. Overall, the waterfall was beautiful and it only made me want to plan my next trip for the first thing in Spring :)
