Panther Creek Trail Rides

Kansas City, Missouri

Admin: Dennis Hawk

This is a great camp in the Missouri Ozarks. There are plenty of trailer slots with water and electric plus stalls nearby for you 4 legged friends. The staff is awesome. There is an arena and round pen for working your animals. The store has the essentials plus tack and western clothing. And nice clean bathhouses.The trails can be challenging, lots of hills and rocky is some places but it's beautiful country. I went down once by myself and the camp was pretty quiet, which is fine by me, but I went back for the annual Mule Festival and the place was humming. I signed up for next years Mule Fest.
