An easy walk around the lake. I saw bathing deer and snakes.

This lookout point is just a short hike from the Blue Ridge Parkway but oh my, the views! Getting to the very summit of the lookout point requires scaling a large boulder; there are fixed cables to make it easier.

At Milepost 302.8 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, you can find the Rough Ridge Overlook. There is a trail that offers even better views from a better vantage point, but there are a few window views through the trees from the parking area. The section of the parkway bordering Grandfather Mountain State Park is especially beautiful in the fall when the colors on the trees are changing.

The Yonahlossee Overlook is located at Milepost 303.9 on the Blue Ridge Parkway and is one of the most frequented stop on the roadside in this area. The overlook, itself, is a bit overgrown, but you can get a great view of the Linn Cove Viaduct just south of the overlook, which is where most people who park at the overlook are headed anyway.
