Reviews
"Great place to stop and see. Nice little gift shop"
"Today I took a wrong route and came across this beautiful scenery. I could stay there for hours just watching those birds flying over the forest and river. Don’t forget to bring some quarters to use the binoculars. Worth the stop"
"The drive up to Hawks Nest is really beautiful. It's a slow road but some take it fast, but there's plenty of places to pull off and let someone past if you want to take the drive slower. The stop itself is really lovely, great for picnics and pictures."
"Love this amazing spot! We try to stop here every trip through the area, and the fall colors were wonderful this time through. The walk to the overlook is easy and well maintained, and the overlook offers a wonderful view of the valley and river. Definitely worth the stop to stretch your legs, use the restroom, and visit the gift shop."
"Not sure how this place only has 9 reviews? This is such a pretty area. There is parking on both sides of the road. A short paved trail will lead you to an overlook with spectacular views. Absolutely stunning scenery during October. The restrooms were not the cleanest, but in one really cool building."
