Overlook Description

Named for Congressman Robert L. Doughton, a loyal supporter and neighbor of the Parkway, this is an ideal location to see deer. Formerly known as the Bluffs because of its high, open meadowlands, this 7000-acre park has picnic areas, trailer sites, a campground and comfort stations, as well as 30 miles of hiking trails over bluegrass bluffs.
