Tips from locals
Beautiful overlook with easy free parking. Views include the town, the battlefields, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The top has lots of informational boards and wayside exhibits on the civil war battle that took place.
This is a great place for taking family pictures or to have a nice picnic. Bolivar Heights overlooks the towns of Harpers Ferry and Bolivar, West Virginia. During the American Civil War, it featured more fighting than any other part of Harpers Ferry.
A picture perfect view and picnic area for spectacular views of Shenandoah and Blue Ridge landscapes of Harpers Ferry. Enter the Park on Whitman Avenue, drive across the field, park at the scenic overlook, and walk around the area to take in the views of the countryside and mountain pass.
