Eberhart Point is the last improved overlook along the scenic drive. It was once known as Canyonland Park. It had a very popular chairlift that took you over the canyon.
At the top of the overlook is a restroom, picnic tables, grills and a bulletin board with useful information.
A concrete paved trail leads you to the overlook. The trail is easy with a slight slope.
Once you are at the bottom of the trail, you will see large concrete pillars. Many years ago, these pillars were used to hold the chairlift that once operated here. Turn right beside the pillars and follow the trail. The river is on your left, the cliffs on the right.
Be safe and be prepared before you hike this trail. Pack a lunch with plenty of water to drink if you plan to spend much time on the trail. Wear sturdy hiking shoes and take a first aid kit. Cell phones do not work in the canyon.
Day hike as long as you like, but remember you have to come out before dark. It is much harder hiking up than it is down.
If you want an easier hike, try the Beaver Pond Trail or the Canyon Mouth Picnic Area Trail.
Kayakers float the waters about 6 months a year. Kayaking is difficult and only recommended for the experienced. These rapids are a Class III-VI.
