Panther Falls: Rockbridge County, Va.



Several deep pools form Panther Falls.

The lower pool is deep and ideal for swimming.
 Panther Falls, a well-loved series of swimming holes, is located on Panther Falls Road east of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Panther Falls Road is rough and narrow, but the hike to the falls is short and easy.

The falls are a popular destination for locals in the summer, but are a secluded spot once the temperatures drop.

Trout are plentiful around the falls and the water is frigid all year round.  Stay safe by swimming only in the lower pool.
