I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
The Prairie State has some incredibly diverse landscapes from prairie and lakes to rivers, hills, and rock formations. It’s not hard to find a scenic hike in any corner of the state. But scenic overlooks aren’t as easy to find, and some are even hidden away along pathways that don’t see as much foot traffic. If you would like to visit a scenic overlook that is tucked away along the banks of the Ohio River, head to Elizabethtown and hike the short and sweet Tower Rock Trail.
Have you traveled along the short Tower Rock Trail to the overlook? What are your favorite scenic overlooks around the Prairie State? Let us know in the comment section!
