Description

Usually done as an out & back from Prediger Road, but can also be linked with Overlook Mountain Trail if you can set up a shuttle. Commonly people will hike up to the fire tower at the top of Overlook Mountain where there are great views. The trail is about 5.3 miles long and follows the old Overlook Turnpike from Prediger Road to Overlook Mountain and the fire tower.
