I'm guessing that it's private... 99% of the time, if you haven't heard the name then it is a private lake.

See info below (assuming that this is the correct location).

Abstract : Panther Lake Dam is a homogeneous, earthfill embankment. It is about 19 feet high at its maximum section and is 665 feet long, including the spillway. The embankment is founded on earth. The spillway is located at the right abutment and consists of an approach channel, a concrete weir, a stilling basin, and an outlet channel. The crest length is 67.2 feet. The spillway crest is 4 feet lower than the top of the dam. The outlet works is located at the maximum section of the embankment and consists of an intake structure, a 30-inch diameter reinforced concrete conduit, and an outlet structure. Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations, past operational performance, and according to criteria established for these studies, Panther Lake Dam is judged to be in good condition. The spillway will pass about 60 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping of the dam. No stability problems were evident for the embankment or the appurtenant structures at the time of the visual inspection.

Panther Lake is in the South West corner of Pike County.  Off of 191 a few miles near the Monroe County border I believe.  I assume that it is associated with Panther Lake Estates and is private.

Yes its private. Its about 10 mins from Newfoundland. My family was lucky enough to have some of our property flooded when they built the lake. We sold the land to PLPOA Panther Lake Property Owners ASS for rights to use the lake. We have 80 acres that border the lake shore. There is Northern Pike, Walleye, Crappie, Bass, Perch, Bluegills, Bullhead, Channel Cats, Suckers and Golden Shiners in the lake. Always a blast out there. I will be on it most of the weekend. Iam sometimes willing to take people on with me as long as everyone has respect for the land. (And brings the BEER)
