About this overlook

From the overlook, visitors can see an elongated rock formation that bears a striking resemblance to an alligator. The overlook provides expansive views of the mountains as they descend into the rolling valley below. A map of the Doughton Park Trail System is also located at the overlook, highlighting trails that range from short and easy to longer, more challenging hikes.
