Overlook Description

From Groundhog Mountain you can enjoy a beautiful scenic view. An observation tower that was used by the Virginia Forest Service offers amazing long-range views. The groundhog is one of many mammals you may see along the parkway. Farmers who moved into the highlands opened land that favored the habitat of the groundhog, including the south slope of Groundhog Mountain. There are also picnic tables and restrooms at this overlook.
