Located 3 miles west of Berkeley Springs, Prospect Overlook (aka Panorama Overlook), offers sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. From this elevated point visitors can look out over the Potomac River flowing through the Great Cacapon Valleys, where West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland meet. There is room to pull off the road and spend a few minutes enjoying one of the most scenic outlooks in the country. While you are there you can check out the historic marker, which describes Civil War activity in the area during 1862. If you would like to approach the overlook on foot you will find an 11-mile trail leading from the Cacapon State Park, along the top of the mountain, to Prospect Overlook.
