The Overlook Trail is a local hiker’s favorite and a gem for the Fairfield Glade area. For those wanting a quick and enjoyable reset in nature this is a great trail. It’s recommended to complete the look clockwise to have a mostly flat/downhill hike until the final stretch of climbing back to the start. Take your time to enjoy the many scenic vistas over Daddy’s Creek along the way!
