Devil's Knob Overlook

Devil's Knob Overlook sits at 3,733 feet on the Blue Ridge Parkway, facing south across terrain that drops 918 feet within 600 meters of the pullout. The view spans a line of peaks to the south, beginning with Meadow Mountain and Bee Mountain about three miles southwest, followed by Three Ridges at 3,968 feet to the south-southwest. Farther out, Bolton Mountain, Cat Rock Mountain, Horseshoe Mountain, and White Mountain extend the sightline south and south-southeast, with Roberts Mountain and Pats Knob visible at distances of 7.2 and 8.2 miles to the southeast and south-southeast. Charlottesville lies 27.4 miles east-northeast, Lynchburg 36.1 miles south-southwest, and Harrisonburg 37.2 miles north. Ravens Roost Overlook precedes this stop on the parkway, with 3 Ridges Mountain Overlook next along the route. The overlook's south-facing orientation means sunrise and sunset times vary widely by season, from a June solstice sunrise at 09:55 and sunset at 00:42 to a December solstice sunrise at 12:29 and sunset at 22:01.
