St. Mary's overlook Deck

St. Mary's Overlook Deck sits at 746 feet along the Indiana Lincoln Highway Byway, with land dropping only 4 feet over the next 600 meters. From the deck, the Japanese Garden is visible to the south, 0.3 miles away at 767 feet, and the Betsy Chapman Family Gardens lie southwest, 0.4 miles out at 768 feet. Fort Wayne is nearby, 0.5 miles to the south-southwest, while Marion is 45.6 miles to the southwest and Goshen 50.0 miles to the northwest. Sunrise and sunset times shift through the year, with sunrise ranging from 06:09 at the June solstice to 08:03 at the December solstice, and sunset ranging from 17:16 in December to 21:17 in June. Dave's Corner is the previous lookout along the route. The minimal elevation change near the deck and the short distances to the garden features make this a compact stop close to town, without a long approach or steep terrain to navigate.
