Information

Notice the bowl-shaped hillsides and flatlands from this overlook, known as Newman Overlook. This landscape was sculpted by nearby Fall Creek since the retreat of the most recent glacier over 15,000 years ago. This rolling landscape provides a variety of growing conditions for this diverse display of trees, shrubs, and other plants found here. It is a tradition to gently ring the bell to signal your presence at this special place.
