The Overlook Trail at Blue Spruce Park in Indiana, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.3 mile one-way trail that heads uphill from the parking lot on Groft Rd up to the Vista Ridge Trail at the park. This trail can be a bit tricky since there are at least two unmarked trail junctions before you hit the Vista Ridge Trail, but if you stay left at each of them, you'll find your way. If you're heading downhill back to parking, make sure to stay right at each unmarked junction.

This trail may be more moderate in difficulty for those who don't hike often, but the elevation grade is mostly gradual as you hike up to the Vista Ridge Trail.

Despite the trail's name, there is no overlook on this trail. Dogs and biking are both allowed.
