Jackson's Lookout

Jackson's Lookout sits at 358 ft along the Texas Forest Trail, facing due east toward sunrise. The land drops only 4 ft over the next 600 m, indicating a nearly flat approach rather than a sharp drop-off. Daingerfield State Park lies 0.4 mi to the northeast at 492 ft, visible from the overlook. Because the facing direction points toward sunrise with 0° off square, the view aligns directly with the sun's rising position throughout the year; sunrise times range from 06:11 at the June solstice to 07:23 at the March equinox. Mount Pleasant is 19.0 mi west-northwest, Longview is 35.0 mi south, and Marshall is 37.2 mi south-southeast.
