Montoursville Overlook

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.
