Additional Description: What a View! From this Observation Point, a section of the Kickapoo River Valley spreads out before you. Wildcat Ridge and Mt. Pisgah can be seen to your left. "Pisgah" is a Hebrew word meaning "peak." Little Pisgah stands in front of the bigger peak. The Kickapoo Valley Reserve extends beyond these points to the right. In the distance, the rolling hills of Lower Ridge and Dobbs Valley are visible.

In the winter, the scene opens up and much that is hidden by oak and maple leaves in other seasons is apparent. More of the winding Kickapoo River is in view and the Lower Picnic area by Mt. Pisgah can be seen.

This point, 400 feet above the river, is often filled with Turkey Vultures and Red-tail Hawks soaring around the valley. Even the Red Cedar trees hang on for their lives to these sheer cliff walls.

Enjoy the view but please stay away from the edge!
