Scenic Overlooks

Fall is the perfect season to catch a glimpse of the changing colors of the Ozarks from afar at the 165 Scenic Overlook, which is part of a beautiful 22-mile drive that includes stretches of Route 265. On the drive, you'll also be able to catch a glimpse of Table Rock Lake and Table Rock Lake Dam.

At the Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area, a scenic overlook that’s less than a half-mile from the parking lot leads to a 40-foot-tall viewing tower atop a formation known as Dewey Bald, where views of the White River hills await. From either view, the rolling vistas of the Ozarks are full of various shades of fall colors that will warm the heart.
