This roadside overlook has been here since the lake in the valley below was constructed in the 20th century, however, with the help of a Eagle Scout (with the guidance of the Department of Forestry), this over look deck was constructed with the upcoming Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 in mind. Later the sign was changed form "Handicap Accessible" to "Wheel Chair Accessible". You might even see a Horse-Drawn vehicle from the neighboring Amish settlement stopping here for a rest break.
