    The Pounding Mill Overlook is one of the most popular and most photographed overlooks on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's situated at Milepost 413.2 and looks out over Looking Glass Rock, Frying Pan Fire Tower, and a lot of Pisgah National Forest. There is ample parking and is a good spot to read about the history of this section of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
