Cherokee Dam was finished two days before Pearl Harbor to make power for the war, and the lake it backed up is the view from the park's observation deck, with Clinch Mountain along the far side. Legend says the creek got its name when a Virginia colonel shot a panther that fell into the spring. The park's old Panther Springs community was the first stagecoach stop out of Knoxville and mattered more than nearby Morristown, until the railroad passed it by.

The design: Cherokee Lake winding through the ridges below the overlook at dawn, long Clinch Mountain beyond and a bald eagle overhead, drawn in a flat vintage park-poster style inside a Tri-Star red frame, with PANTHER CREEK up top, TENNESSEE PRIDE® below and the Tri-Star on the left sleeve.

Printed on the Bella+Canvas 3001: soft, lightweight, with just the right amount of stretch.

About the place

Panther Creek State Park

Panther Creek State Park lies along the south shore of Cherokee Lake, where its ridge road looks north across the water to the long wall of Clinch Mountain. The lake came in December 1941, when a dam built for wartime power backed the Holston River over the valley. The name is older: a frontier legend has a panther shot and falling into the spring at Panther Springs, the settlement that faded after the railroad passed it by.
