marie antoinette lookout

This is very close mileage-wise to the Wyalusing Rocks Scenic Overlook, so plan to see both. It is a beautiful scenic overlook! We were there in mid-October, and the Susquehanna River winding through the fall foliage and farmlands was just gorgeous.

When traveling on Route 6, be sure to turn into the Marie Antoinette Lookout. There's a spectacular view of the mountains, farmlands, and river. It's simply breathtaking! The view is great all year round, but we enjoy visiting the most in the summer and fall when the leaves are on the trees and most colorful! There's a historical landmark there that tells you about Marie Antoinette's connected to Northern Pennsylvania. There are small "castles" that you can step into and sit for a while. The only drawback is a biker bar right behind the overlook. It would be awesome if they turned that into a family restaurant instead.

I thought it was a spoof until I read the history about the Marie Antoinette Lookout. Really, Marie was looking to make PA her home and there was an island for exiled Parisians. Learn more about our fascinating connection to French history.

This view always takes my breath away with the river and mountains. They have restored the stone work here which makes it even more beautiful.

The view was great, and the history was interesting, but I wish they could have given a little more information. It's too bad they couldn't have a classier eatery there to draw people in.

I really enjoyed stopping here to see the beautiful view, I was waiting on my husband to get out of work and had time to kill and i could not have picked a more relaxing place...

There is parking here and also a restaurant nearby where you can get food and drink. The stonework, originally by CCC workers in the 1930s, has been repaired, and probably you can find someone to take your picture by the arches overlooking the Susquehanna River, and French Asylum areas.

Can't travel on Route 6 without stopping to soak in the history of the area. Great view on a sunny day

I'm sick to see a 100 ft Marcellus shale flare and well pad installed square in the middle of the view, next to the river. Drove by last night and felt sick to my stomach that I've been robbed of so many memories of that once-gorgeous place. The politicians who permitted that site out to be jailed and the company, who could have prevented the use of a flare by using a "green" completion, out to be fined out of existence. That's the most disrespectful siting of a Marcellus well pad I've seen yet and it should make any proud rural Pennsylvanian pissed off.

Beautiful lookout, I am a local and still stop whenever I am going by. Will be the place I get engagement pictures done :)

It's a great view, and a fine place to take photos of loved ones, in the stone lookouts. Be sure to find out why it's called the Marie Antoinette Lookout!

Grand Army of the Republic is what US 6 is called in my home state of Indiana. I live just off of US 6 and it looks nothing like this. Just outside of Wyalusing, Pennsylvania you will climb a big hill and at the top you will find this beautiful lookout. It is basically farm land with a river flowing through and to me it was impressive. It doesn't cost to take a look so why not!

There was not much to see as for physical structures but the view was beautiful.

The viewing area is located next to the rock cuts just off Route 6.
