Deadman's Hill Overlook

"Hard to believe there is a chasm in the ground this size amidst all the flatter farm land i saw on the way. Parking is minimal here, it was very full. Once up the trail had to climb up the fence to see down in the river valley. The trail keeps going down into and around the valley. Also saw two or three very large red pine trees that we couldn't wrap our arms around. Wish I had time to see more here. There is only one pit bathroom here that I saw."

"Probably has the greatest views on a clearer day but we stopped to check it out in a misty rain, so while the view was still worth the stop, we definitely did not get the full effect of fall colors."

"Worth the drive from Cadillac. Easy access to parking and a short walk to the overlook. Good signage for those interested in the hiking trails. Mid October for color vista that was mid range towards peak."

"Deadman’s Hill Overlook offers a hauntingly beautiful panorama that captures the essence of nature’s mystique. The elevated vantage point provides sweeping views of rugged landscapes and dense forests, creating an atmosphere that feels both serene and eerie. The name, though ominous, adds a layer of intrigue, making it a destination for those seeking an adventurous experience. The trek to the overlook is worth the effort, offering a unique perspective that lingers in your memory. However, be prepared for limited amenities and consider visiting during daylight for the best experience. Overall, Deadman’s Hill Overlook is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike. Free to visit!!! Great for pics!!!"

"Absolutely beautiful! When pulling in it’s a little rough with the road being all messed up but when you enter the loop go forward until you see more signs and that’s where the trails will be. You don’t need to go to the trails if you just want to go straight to the view then there’s a little trail that goes straight to a good overlook spot!"
