Chestoa View Parking Area & Viewpoint

"This is a great quick one mile hike. The overlook is just a few steps from parking. The trail is easy, dog friendly and has some great views at the loop."

"Breathtaking panoramic view from the point. Just walk few stairs from the parking and it will give you a stunning scenic views to relax and enjoy the nature. Worth taking few stairs."

"One of my favorite overlooks. There is a short trail to a better view & a view platform down a steep flight of stone stairs. Good view of Table Rock & Grandfather Mountain. You can see some without hiking, but not very well. I would not consider this overlook to be wheelchair accessible. Also, no restroom facilities."

"Wow this gem is quite unassuming, when you pull into the parking lot it seems to just be a place to sit and picnic. Then after a very short walk you are presented with an epic view with a wonderful panoramic viewing spot down a few steps. We had no idea that was there but we're pleasantly surprised, we will be checking out the .6 mile trail next time we are on the parkway."

"Had our wedding ceremony here. The overlook is breathtaking, usually one has to hike a while to find a view like this. The stone immerses you into a fairytale with nothing but nature and mountains. At sunrise you can watch as the sun ascends over the mountaintops and valleys, and it is spectacular. It is a shame that so many respect nature so little and yet make it a point to come here, leaving trash behind. Do better."
