Montoursville Overlook at Tiadaghton State Forest near South Williamsport, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that leads to a mountainside vista that features views of Montoursville.
This short walk leads from a small parking turnout along the state forest road (Skyline Drive) and back to the roadside vista, known as the Montoursville Overlook. Visitors can technically drive-up to this view, but in order to not block the road, you can also turn-off the road, park and walk back to enjoy the vista on foot. The view encompasses, mostly, the eastern section of Bald Eagle Mountain, located directly across from the view; however, on the left-hand side of the view is the town of Montoursville, Pennsylvania.
Parking
Visitors will find a small parking turnout at the coordinates provided, located along Skyline Drive. The turnout is large enough to fit a couple of vehicles.
Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and must be cleaned up after.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
