The Lewis Fork Overlook is not one of the most popular stops on the Blue Ridge Parkway simply because of how overgrown it has become. This viewpoint at Milepost 270.2 is great for looking at rolling ridgelines with a forest setting in the foreground, but all views of the actual river (Lewis Fork) are completely blocked by trees.
