Newtown Overlook

The Newtown Overlook at Newtown Battlefield State Park near Elmira, New York is an easy 0.1-mile one-way walk that features a valley view of the mountains surrounding Lowman and Wellsburg, New York.

From the Newtown Overlook, visitors get views into the Lowman and Wellsburg, NY valley.
