The Panhandle Creek Trail is close to our house in Crystal Lakes. It is not on any trail maps we could find but was recommended by Steve at Lone Pine Realty. We did not have any idea how long or hard it was but was very presently surprised. We were on a rest day (not sure what Mom and Dad mean by rest day we still hike and I still run and swim until my legs are tired all over again) and had a very nice 4 mile out and back hike along Panhandle Creek.
