In college, I used to sit up here with friends and have picnics on the edge. It truly is beautiful! It really reminds one that there is a God and He is an amazing creator. Take the kids and you will have a great day out. More

This park is located at the top of Lookout Mt. You are expected to self pay and it is $3 per person. It is well worth it! The views are some of the prettiest I've ever seen! More
