Accessible via a 3.4 mile ( 5.5 km) hike on the road and bypass trail from the Madison Falls parking lot. Perched on what was once the spillway of the Glines Canyon Dam, visitors can enjoy expansive views of the wide valley that formerly held the Lake Mills reservoir. Lake Mills formed when the Glines Canyon Dam was built between 1925 and 1927, flooding an area known at the time as Smokey Bottom. The overlook also gives people the chance to look down and watch the Elwha's blue-green waters flow through the 200-foot (61 meter) deep Glines Canyon.
