Parking. There are a number of spots available immediately next to the gazebo with additional parking across the street by the lake and gift shop.
HIKER NOTE - Foggy Mornings. On heavy fog days, this view will be a cloud of fog until mid-morning. Go higher to the overlooks for better views with the sun lighting up the fog bank.
HIKER NOTE - Clear Sunrises. Days without fog provide nice sunrise views here and at Log Rock. Nearest the summer solstice though, go to the overlooks for sunrise.
HIKER NOTE - Lamp House Coffee. After stopping here, I headed to Lynch - a short drive down route 160. The local coffee shop is fantastic with loads of history on site and surrounding it. Plus, the biscuits and gravy were delicious too! [LINK]
