Description
Overlook Trail starts at the north end of the Beulah Shelter parking lot. The short trail follows a ridgeline running north to south before heading into the valley to connect with Eagle Valley Trail or Green Rock Trail. Before the trail heads down the valley, there is a wonderful scenic overlook with views of the hills and hardwood forest. The trail to the overlook is rather wide and consists mostly of dirt and gravel. Parts of the trail are steep and rocky so pay attention to your footing. The trail provides is a great view for the fall leaf season. In the winter time, if there is sufficient snow, the trail would be suitable for cross country skiing.
