Lindy Point Overlook

A short, easy hike, a big view, and a quiet moment you’ll carry home with you.

A little slice of heaven, just a short drive from your cabin door.

If you’re looking for a simple adventure that rewards you big, Lindy Point should be on your list. Just 35 minutes from Harman’s, this short and sweet trail winds through the woods and opens up to one of the most breathtaking views in all of West Virginia.

It’s the kind of spot that makes you stop, take a deep breath, and remember what peace feels like.

What Makes Lindy Point So Special?

  • Big Views, Small Hike: This is one of those rare trails that’s easy on the legs but rich in reward. A quick 0.4-mile walk takes you straight to the overlook—no scrambling, no stress.
  • A View You’ll Talk About for Years: The Blackwater Canyon stretches out below like a painted postcard. Come at sunset for golden light and a quiet you can feel in your bones.
  • Nature’s Conversation Piece: There’s a massive 35-foot balancing rock near the overlook that always gets folks talking. Kids love it. So do photographers.
  • Every Season Shines: In summer, the trail is lined with wildflowers. Fall? A blaze of color. Winter brings a stillness that’s pure magic. And spring? Fresh air and promise.
  • Perfect for Families: The trail is short, flat, and well-marked—just right for little legs and anyone wanting a peaceful walk through the woods.
