Breathtaking Vistas at Rock Point Overlook

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, navigate to the Blue Ridge Parkway. From popular entry points like Asheville or Roanoke, follow the signage toward the Parkway. Once on the Parkway, head south or north depending on your starting point. Rock Point Overlook is located at Milepost 10.5. Look for signs indicating the overlook as you approach this milepost. The overlook has a designated parking area where you can safely park your vehicle and enjoy the views.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, take a bus to the nearest city such as Lynchburg or Charlottesville. From there, you may need to rent a car or find a rideshare service (like Uber or Lyft) as there are no direct public transit routes to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Once you have a vehicle, follow the same directions as above to reach Rock Point Overlook. Be aware that rideshare services may incur additional costs, depending on the distance from your drop-off point to the overlook.

• Walking

  If you are already near Milepost 10.5 but not at the overlook, you can walk to the overlook from the nearest parking area. There are paths leading from the parking lot to the scenic spot. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a short walk, as the terrain may vary.
