Moore's Knob Lookout Tower renovated
One of the best views in this area is on Moore's Knob in Hanging Rock State Park. A stone observation tower gets one up above the few trees on the rock outcropping. The view is spectacular in all directions. Pilot Mountain rises in the west about 40 miles away.
The stone tower has just gone through a renovation. The deck on top has been re-floored and stairs sport a new paint job. Poison ivy still climbs the side - be careful not brush against it on the staircase.
