Montgomery Pike Scenic Overlook is a gorgeous roadside overlook and picnic spot located approximately 3.5 miles south of Williamsport along Route 15 in Lycoming County.
Another way of saying it is that it’s 7 miles north of Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland, on the northbound side of Route 15 (Route 15 is a divided highway near the overlook).
The overlooks sits high atop Bald Eagle Mountain, 1083 feet above sea level and some 300 feet above the West Branch of the Susquehanna River below.
A weathered sign near the picnic area indicates this overlook was donated by the citizens of Mountoursville, one of the towns you can see below.
