Very neat overlook with decent sized parking on both sides of the road - No restrooms or picnic tables just a fantastic view of the mountains.Could be a great impromptu picnic area.Critter proof garbage can is located on the west side parking area.

Very beautiful scenic views of Virginias mountain ranges-- both Allegheny and the Blue Ridge! Great place to stop off at and eat lunch or a dinner. Two separate areas for those traveling in either direction.Bonus suggestion: If coming from Pulaski, stop off at Toms Drive-in.

The views here are very nice. Its a good place to stop in to just rest a bit and maybe get a little leg stretching. I enjoy history, so I was intrigued by the fact this is an old rest area. Unfortunately it has been neglected. There are no available restrooms. There is a shelter, but it looks like its been awhile since it was last used as a maintained picnic shelter. There are remnants of other structures around. My daughter enjoyed exploring the area.

Pretty to sight see and walk to the old stone buildings but a few disrespectful people, unfortunately, have trashed or left their trash behind in these stone houses.

Beautiful views on both sides of the mountains. It provides hiking and biking opportunities. There are several trails with shelters, benches and building remnants.

This place was absolutely gorgeous for a road trip stop. The view alone is great but if you do a little exploring, you find some really amazing abandoned stone buildings. 100% recommend.

Little bit of trash from ugly people. But over all a great spot to visit!

This is an awesome place to visit. It has super views of the new river valley from atop Draper mountain, and from both sides! Theres boards and signs with the history of the area and hiking trails and an old homeplace. There is free public parking, picnic tables, and trash cans. Its a great place to visit and only about 5-10 minutes from I-81. Highly recommended!

Wonderful over look we found on our motorcycle ride. If you ride the road is amazing to ride on the way to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The views are breath taking and the history is humbling. Take a few minutes to stop and have a look.
