- Day-use only and open year-round. No facilities are available.
- There is no river access from the overlook. A 2-mile trail to Rainie Falls can be accessed at the Graves Creek bridge.
Point of Interest:
If you take a look across the river and upriver from the overlook, the keen observer will espy a hexagonal structure just above the river. This 13-foot tall abutment is one of the few remnants of a suspension bridge constructed in 1908 but washed out by the flood of 1927.
