Reviews
"Great outlook. Trails are moderate. Can see the water in many areas cuz of the trail"
"Beautiful overlook. Has a great trail down to the water, though parts are a little steep."
"The Roanoke River Overlook is a small gem along a rather sad stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway. From the parking lot, it takes between 5-10 minutes to walk down to the river's edge. Be prepared to walk down quite a few steps. You will quickly discover that an old power plant and dam dominate much of the scenery, but the old structures have somewhat of a rustic beauty. The river bed is the main attraction for myself, full of interesting rock formations. There are numerous shallow pools, full of fish, crayfish, and tadpoles (depending on the time of year). Sadly, much like most of the Roanoke River, there tends to be litter scattered around. It can detract from the natural beauty of the area."
"Rolled into Roanoke and found this overlook of the river. Beautiful spot with a trail to the bottom. I didn’t hike down but it’s there. Nice shady parking lot for a break and a look over the river."
"The great area to walk through nature and down by the river. Would imagine the fishing is good, but I think it was too hot when I went."
