rain; November is when you get the most rain here; the driest month of the year is July. A lengthy trip parts Eugene-Springfield from Panther Trail, but what a fine place for backcountry trekking it is. Panther Trail goes through some very different elevations, and that means that
some parts of the backpacking trail could be very different from other parts of it. This hike should take you about 2.5 days, so it's an excellent thing if your backpack is big enough to do the job. This is just one of a large number of trails in this region. Backcountry hiking

Briefly
about the general area:
If you have a thing about the outdoors you'll have a thing about it here in the Central Cascade Range. Looking for some flowing water? Try Station Creek, and a spree to Winslow Cabin Spring will fill your spirit with pleasant feelings. You'll in fact
wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the entertaining stuff in the Central Cascade Range. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Steamboat Creek, and why not camp at River View RV Park if you're here at Panther Trail.
Buckhead Mountain
Campground is a nice local campground. A journey to South Limpy Prairie rejuvenates the spirit, and a splendid spot to go to is Black Gorge. So many cool things to do at Panther Trail, so little time. Steamboat Creek is a fine local stream, and Bloody Point is close by and always
tremendous to stop by.
Everybody loves Limpy Prairie, and if you come at the right time of year, Umpqua River - North offers some pleasant whitewater. A wooded vicinity in close proximity to Panther Trail is Umpqua National Forest, and do put some time aside to spend at Little Falls while you're here at Panther Trail.
