The Lump Overlook is at Milepost 264 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The trail to the grassy hillside is pretty popular since it is so short and so easy to follow. This "mountain meadow" is super popular for flying kites and model airplanes and picnicking.

The overlook views out onto the trail and the hillside. The overlook can be crowded by trees, but the super short walk up the hill provides great views of sunrises and sunsets, especially in the fall months when the leaves start to change colors.
