The Valley Overlook

The Valley Overlook at Round Top Park in Athens, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.2-mile out-and-back walk that features two overlooks with views of the Sayre, PA Athens, PA and Waverly, NY - also known as "The Valley".

This is not a hike but rather a quick walk through Round Top Park that connects two overlooks. Visitors will find the western-most overlook includes views of the Susquehanna River. Visitors can also locate an old U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey marker (control point) at the western-most overlook as well. Each overlook, as of May 2023, included swing benches for visitors to sit and enjoy the views.

Hours
Round Top Park is open from sunrise to sunset every day. There's a gate along the entrance road that might be opened/closed at those times each day; however, that was unclear from our visit. Don't get stuck inside if that's the case.

Parking
Visitors will find parking turnouts by the coordinates provided at Round Top Park.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and must be cleaned up after.
