Great place for hawk watch. Be prepared for cold & windy!
A word of note, this is a privately owned site generously open to the public. Please treat the area with respect and care and it will continue to remain available to all.
This is my favorite and the westernmost of Pennsylvania’s hawk watch sites. Hawk Mountain is legendary and has awesome views, but the views here are spectacular as well and you don’t have to perch on a pile of sharp rocks to see them. This is also the best place in PA to see Golden Eagles in fall migration, particularly in late October through early November when the winds are out of the East. The East wind will push the raptors against the front of the Allegheny Mountains providing hawk watchers eye-level views of these magnificent birds of prey.
Be considerate and don't throw trash or act in a way that will cause the owner to rethink his generosity !
When coming here, be prepared. Winds are much stronger here than in the valley and the wind chill will make you cold quick without cold weather gear. There are no food establishments nearby so bring a picnic lunch. There is one port-a-john on site. If the weather is bad, the gated entrance will be closed otherwise the site is usually open to the public.
Awesome overlook !
There is a gate going back to the overlook that is usually open. There is a parking area back by the overlook. The overlook is on private property but the owner of the land is very generous by allowing people to come enjoy the beautiful scenery.
