Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits, Scenic View/Photo Spot

Follow the gravel trail that goes past Overlook Two across the second small wooden footbridge. On your left, you will see the High Water Marks Pole with markers showing how high the floods reached. Two viewing platforms provide the best view of Great Falls. This overlook is the last of the three viewing areas for the falls.

Accessibility

A wide, flat gravel path leads to the overlook platforms. There are no steps to reach either platform. There is a clear panel in the railing to see the falls if you can't see over the railing.

From both the visitor center and lower parking lot accessible parking spaces, it is about a 0.2‑mile walk to Overlook Three.
