Around 1,444 acres in size, the Panther Creek State Park is a fun getaway by the Cherokee Reservoir. The park often has a variety of events happening, and it has multiple gift shops, which sell shirts that go back towards helping the park stay clean and maintained. If you're looking for a place for a family reunion, you can rent one of the park's venues in advance.
