Schoolhouse Falls, Little Green Mountain, Greenland Creek Falls Trails Loop

A truly beautiful hike to Tranquility Point on Little Green Mountain! Lots of ways to get lost though! Make sure you download a map and know which ways you are going. Beautiful fall foliage right now also!

Panthertown is covered in intersecting trails, so have a map or this app ready for reference. The trail itself is a wide road until you reach the intersection at the beginning of the loop. We went right first. The trail was super muddy and waterlogged, so wear your waterproof shoes. Once on top of Little Green, the views are amazing! Exposed rock, heather and moss, and views for miles make it worth the uphill trek. It’s a great place to stop and take a water break. Once you’re at the bottom of the loop, the fall is right there with a large pool for you to swim/wade in. Be mindful of dogs and horses on this trail, and other campers. Overall, it was super fun and would definitely go back. I’d recommend it for the intermediate hiker.

Fantastic.

You get to see waterfalls and views of Panthertown Valley on this trail. The hardest part of the trail was the climb to the summit of Little Green Mountain after Schoolhouse Falls, but it really wasn't too tough. My only complaint is that it's really easy to wander off the main trail on the summit since it's not marked well. Watch for a couple of white arrows on the granite and green trail blaze markers. Using this app definitely helped guide me back on track. Depending on how much rain has fallen recently, parts of the trail near Greenland Creek could be muddy. A water crossing at Greenland Creek was shin deep when I went.

I thought this was the best trail in the area. Went early on a weekday and there were no other hikers on the trail though there were MANY on Panthertown Valley trail on the way back

Panthertown is my home and is run by a great conservation group. This is a beautiful waterfall and swimming hole. Don't be afraid to get your paws wet.

I took a guided hike led by the conservation group. A little steep in a few spots for my over the hill owners. They just took their time and stopped to breath a lot. The rest of the group had no problems. Those young bucks. Dog friendly.

Enjoy.

Five woofs!

Mostly uphill. Trails are not clearly marked so it's easy to get confused. Trail had lots of tree stumps and rocks. Great bathing area for dogs and kids once you get to the Schoolhouse Waterfall.
Not a huge summit but a great place to hike to just for the view.

Ended up doing this trail by accident... but so happy we did! We went around to Little Green summit first and then down to the falls. The trail was definitely easy going for the first 3+ miles. A nice/steep climb to the top and then some AMAZING views. Got a little turned around on the summit thanks to some careless wandering but never got too far off path. The entire 4 hours we were in the area we only saw 4 other groups of people which made the experience even more perfect. Can't wait to come back for a weekend of camping/hiking.

has everything: falls, steep hike, cliff walking, wet swampy areas, and lots of leaves. got lost a couple times. this app really helped.

Great trail. If it weren't for the muddy trail and sparse trail markers, we would definitely have rated it a 5.

Good hike to schoolhouse falls, there are two muddy portions, expect your hiking shoes to get dirty. I'd recommend going the extra half mile from schoolhouse falls to the top of green mountain for a great view. To the top of green mountain and back to the trailhead is 4 miles. My 11 year old daughter did the hike no problem. The falls makes a good swimming spot. Enjoy!

Can you hunt small game?

Great hike, and worth the view from the top.

One of my favorites :) Hiking up to Little Green Mountain isn't always easy but SO worth it!

amazing

I wouldn't have really considered this to be that difficult of a hike depending on which way you go. But if you hike to just the falls it's easy. The falls was the best thing honestly.

Absolutely my favorite place to hike!
There are plenty of trails to explore here. I do recommend bringing some trail markers, because not all the trails are marked and it is sometimes difficult to find the way back.

Huge variety of trial types, from mountain top views, waterfalls, and trail difficulty. The many trails offer you the ability to combo them to custom your hiking experience. The trails are also marked at the beginning of the trail ends with numbers that make navigation easy as long as you have a map. No maps are offered at trail head in parking lot so we had to take a picture with our phones.

I love this place. This was the first time I've been there when it was warm. We usually go in November. Can't wait to go back

This hike has a little bit of everything. I really love the variety of this hike and all the paths off the trail that you are able to take. Print out a copy or save the PDF of the trail on your phone, it is easy to get lost.

Know how to read a map and go early, if you don't intend to camp. Then enjoy all you see and discover!!

An amazing place with great campsites, hiking and views. Take a map, take your time and don't over look the trip up to High Bethel. Definitely worth every effort.

Great hike with views of two waterfalls plus two more that we decided not to do this day because of a late start. School House Falls and Greenland Creek Falls were everything advertised and the overlook was a very interesting area to explore. Well worth the effort and will back to the area.

In many trail reviews, it's difficult to determine whether or not a trail is good for running. Panthertown is obviously renowned for hiking, but I've run throughout Panthertown Valley several times and can say it is one of the best places I've ever been. If you stay on the trails designated for Bike or Horse, the running is a perfect mix of fast and technical. The trail footprint allows you to get good mileage without running the same trails. Several loops can be made utilizing different sections of trails. The upper trails are elevated, dry and fairly wide, while the lower sections can be technical and wet. Take a GPS watch in case you need to retrace your path and find your way out, but there is no better way to learn the trails than to get lost once or twice.

Just got back from Panthertown valley and all I can say is "WOW". Totally awesome. I would recommend going VERY prepared. Don't get caught trying to make it through the many unlabeled trails in the dark...unless you are experience and are prepared to meet the dangers lurking in the night while hiking. We went in when it was dark and got out when it was dark and were ready to meet the challenges. Views are amazing. You must have a map and compass...map can be found online for free. I can now see why people have to get airlifted out of this remote area every year. Just go in prepared and you won't have any trouble.

Good mountain views and waterfalls.
