Really neat place to spend time. Id have hiked farther if Id have had the time. We found a cool little building and the views were great.

Its a great place for the kids to explore especially in fall with comfortable temperatures. The view of town is beautiful and the wildlife is a great teaching experience to children. Its also wheelchair accessible now so other family members can join us now.

Wish I knew about it when I had family visit. Not getting that fifth star because of all the broken glass everywhere. It appears to be cleaned, but visited more often with people that do not care about it judging by all the glass everywhere.

We visited the Scenic Overlook while they were letting water out of the Tuttle Creek Dam. It was spectacular. Highly recommend you check it out if you can while they are still letting water out. It probably wont be quite as interesting if you visit while the Dam isnt pumping out water, but it still has some great views of the reservoir.

I can only give a review from my driving in the dark experience. It is a bit of a skinny & windy road but it was a beautiful sight when we got there & out of the car. Beautiful view!

Very nice view. Area kept nice and clean, grass cut, trash picked up for the most part. Fairly quiet spot, plenty of room is it was to get heavy traffic. For the most part its a nice safe area to enjoy a lunch or just relax. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great spot for weather spotting, a picnic, parking for the lovers, a short hike back to the Manhattan Letters on the hill, and of course a great photo spot. A must do...you must do...at least once while in The Little Apple.
