Added 12-11-25 Return to Panther Hollow RNA and Buckhart Hollow to the Ohio River.

This is a bushwhacking hike. No official trails. On the way in and out there is a faint user made trail. I recommend that you use Avenza Maps on your phone, or a similar app using GPS positioning, cell service is very spotty. I did have a signal at the river.

There is a forest road used to enter the hike. There is room for a very few cars on the shoulder on the West side of the forest road. Apparently I have never written down or photographed the sign. It was something like 142A One of those vertical brown with white lettering signs that are made to be hard to see.

As you walk in there are places that deer hunters park to the right. I found 3 Deer Hunter stands scattered around.

Pay no attention to the miles. I may have forgotten to turn tracking off. 7.2mi. by the Garmin. The hike in, to the left was along the mid and bottom of the bluff. The return was much more level along the ridge on top of the bluffs. When you finally get to the top.

    Getting to some bluffs

    Those are great bluffs.

    I went on up here then back around the backside and around to the front of the bluffs again.

    Kissing rocks

    Fossils?

    The waterdribble. It hasn’t rained for quite awhile.
    Nice size sand cave at the East end of the hollow. I headed up the bluff across the creek north to the top and headed for the better bluffs across the ridges.

    That’s it!
